Season 22

The twenty-second season (going under the name Big World! Big Adventures!) of Shopkins is expected to be released in 2018 on Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon.

## Production

Season 22 will mark the first major "reboot" of the franchise since the show switched to full CGI in the thirteenth season. The episodes will keep their eleven minute-long runtime, but will now be broken into seven minute-long stories, with an additional four minutes reserved for a variety of segments like sing-along karaoke songs, music videos or Cheeky Chocolate talking directly with the audience about lessons learned during a particular episode. Among many other changes, Peppa-Mint and Macy Macaron will be removed from the Shop Team to make room for Bianca Banana and Tara Tiara, and the narrator has been replaced with Cheeky Chocolate talking to the audience (however, Mark Moraghan has said that he will still work on the series).

Season 22 will be set after Big World! Big Adventures!. The season will be split into two halves; the first half will see Cheeky Chocolate travelling around the world and visiting India, Australia, China and Africa, while the second half will take place back in Shopville. The season will also be released on Netflix, Amazon and Hulu in the fall of 2018.
