Series 22

The **twenty-second series** of *Tyler's Adventures* aired on 3rd September 2018 in the UK and on 17th September 2018 in the US.

## Production

### Development

Series 22, alongside Big State! Big Adventures! marks as the third major reboot of the franchise, following the introduction of the Human Team in Series 8 and the show switching over to full CGI in Hero of the Town. Both productions were the masterminded concepts of Ian McCue and Micaela Winter and the result of the market research The MilanToon Channel conducted with audiences around the globe. It was about how The MilanToon Channel could keep Tyler's Adventures relevant in a competitive market, as well as reversing declining toy sales. The one suggestion The MilanToon Channel was intrigued with came from a child declaring "Tylr is a human but he never really goes anywhere". This evolved into Tyler travelling around the state and learning about different cultures.

The episodes retained their eleven minute-long runtime but were now 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 segments of Tyler talking directly with the audience about lessons learned during a particular episode. The episodes now also feature more cartoonish laws of physics. Additionally, all episodes have a fantasy sequence and six of the seventeen development goals The MilanToon Channel chose from the United Nations are featured. Among many other changes, Berry Jars 'n' Jam and Bea Spells-a-Lot were removed from the Human Team to make room for Pippa Melon and Rubie Blaze in order to move the gender ratio among the main cast to a 50/50 split between male and female characters, with an episode focused on addressing their removal. Captain Toad was also quietly dropped from the Human Team for the same reason and the narrator was replaced with Tyler in a first-person perspective. Despite this, Mark Moraghan said that he will still work on the series. In School of Crumbs, he voiced an old coach named Dexter who was converted into a school classroom. He also now portrays a character in live-action segments named Mr. Evans, replacing the late Ben Forster's role as Mr. Perkins a year after Forster died on 2nd January 2017 following a battle with cancer. The former Human Team members also make appearances in future series.

Series 22 is set after Big State! Big Adventures! The series is split into two halves: one half with Tyler travelling around the world, visiting Sherburne County, Brainerd and Australia and one half taking place in Breezy Point.

* Rufus Jones, Kate Murphy and Kayli Mills return to the voice cast.

* This series introduced a new sequence used at least once in almost every episode, featuring a character backing up to the selected rolling stock and a close-up of their couplings being hooked, followed by a close-up of their whistle being blown (horns for diesels and a bell if they have one) before the start of the main plot.
* Davey Moore wrote the most episodes in the total of nine episodes written, whilst Andrew Brenner and Michael White wrote only two episodes, making both write only two episodes each this series.
* The mist surrounding the frame in the fantasy sequences is very similar to classic cartoon thought bubbles. Depending on who is having the fantasy, it is white for steam characters (and rolling stock) and black for diesels.
* Mari Golden Petals is the only current Human Team member to not get a starring role in this series.
* Apart from Tyler reading the titles aloud and talking directly to the audience before and after the stories, Forever and Ever, What Rubie Does and Apology Impossible are the only episodes this series to not feature narration.
* Many episodes from this series have been released in audio format on Amazon's US website and on Spotify. An unknown narrator explains what is happening during some scenes of each episode. The only episodes that have yet to have audio versions released are Forever and Ever, Tyler and the Dragon, Tyler's Animal Ark, Tyler and the Monkey Palace, Kangaroo Christmas and Banjo and the Bushfire.
* The series was planned to be released on Netflix, Hulu and Amazon, but ultimately was not, likely because of the Nickelodeon deal. It was, however, streamed on Netflix in the UK, while Netflix streamed the show in the US the next year for the rest of Series 23 as TV airings of this show in the US was given a hiatus.
* It is unknown if Cartoonito will air this series onwards.
