Cartoon Network Grows Programming Slate with New Adventure Comedies "Mao Mao, Heroes of Pure Heart" and "Tig N' Seek" "Summer Camp Island" and "Apple & Onion" Return with Season Pickups Cartoon Network adds two new original adventure comedies to its programming lineup: Parker Simmons's Mao Mao, Heroes of Pure Heart, a high-octane ride that follows a crime-fighting samurai cat and his faithful sidekicks, and Tig N' Seek, a lighthearted mystery-filled show about a young sleuth and his feline partner created by Myke Chilian. Known for its immersive content and redefining what it means to be a brand for today's savvy and purpose-driven generation, Cartoon Network is building community and conversation through authentic storytelling and characters that are empowering and inclusive.

All were piloted as part of the studio's global Artists Program known for nurturing a new generation of creators and developing a pipeline of critically acclaimed work. These new and returning series join other hit shows rolling out all year long everywhere on Cartoon Network.
