Exclusive: The third and final season of Netflix animated series Hilda will launch on December 7. Episodes one and two of the Bella Ramsey-voiced show will premiere at the Ottawa International Animation Festival.
The show, which Sony Pictures Television — Kids makes with Canada’s Mercury Filmworks, follows Ramsay’s fearless, blue-haired titular character as she travels from home to a vast magical wilderness of elves and giants and the city of Trolberg, where she makes friends and discovers mysterious creatures who are stronger — and sometimes more dangerous — than she ever expected. It has won Emmys, BAFTA and Annies since launch in 2018.
Season three’s first episodes will play at Ottawa’s animation fest this week on Thursday (September 21) before Netflix debuts the final seven-part run (and a 70-minute special) in December.
The series is based on Luke Pearson’s graphic novels for older kids, which is published by Nobrow. Pearson...
