Series 23

Series 23 of Shopkins will begin airing in September in the UK and 18 May 2019 in the US.

## Production

Mattel has green-lit a new series and several specials for Shopkins that will premiere in 2019. Production has begun on the 23rd series that will consist of 20 x 11-minute episodes as well as three 22-minute specials following the recent revamp of the series.

The series is once again, split into two halves: one half with Cheeky Chocolate travelling around the world, and one half taking place in Shopville.
