The Hub Announces New Seasons of “My Little Pony Friendship is Magic” and “The Adventures of Chuck & Friends”
WHAT:
– My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, the animated TV series with an ultra “buzz factor” among audiences of all ages, returns for its second-season premiere Saturday, September 17 (9 a.m. ET) on The Hub TV Network, a destination for kids and their families. The much-talked-about Hub Original Series follows the studious young unicorn Twilight Sparkle as she and her five pony friends living in the fairytale village of Ponyville teach one another about the magic of friendship during their many adventures in the kingdom of Equestria. My Little Pony Friendship is Magic premieres with the first of a two-part episode called “The Return of Harmony” which introduces Discord, the mischievous spirit of disharmony, who escapes from his imprisonment in stone to threaten the peace of Equestria forcing Twilight and her friends to seek out the “Elements of Harmony” to defeat him.
– Also launching its second season with new episodes is the pre-school series The Adventures of Chuck & Friends based on the popular Tonka Chuck & Friends brand. Premiering on The Hub Monday, September 12 (11:00 a.m. ET), the Hasbro Studios produced series features the Chuck character, the adventurous pint-sized truck who’s running on a full tank of enthusiasm. The Chuck character goes on larger-than-life adventures with his friends and finds creative methods for playing them out. The new season of adventures launches with Grandpa Treadwell in town for a visit to a truck show, and possibly on the receiving end of a Grand Prize.
