NEW YORK, April 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The dynamic
trio of fan-favorites – Catboy, Owlette, and Gekko – return for
season four of Entertainment One (eOne)'s hit preschool show PJ
Masks, with a special extended episode premiering May 15, 2020 at 7:00 p.m.
ET/PT on Disney Junior and in DisneyNOW. The fourth season
will span 52 episodes of heroic adventures, introduce new allies
and villains, plus a message centered on the power of persistence,
friendship, curiosity, and teamwork.
The new season will kick off with PJ Masks' first-ever
four-part, 44-minute episode: "Heroes of the Sky." Season four
begins with villain Romeo stealing coveted power crystals from Luna
Girl and the PJ Masks. Catboy, Owlette, and Gekko leap into action
to stop Romeo's plans to create dozens of Flying Factories to take
over the world. Owlette imperils the mission and loses her memory
in the process – which Catboy and Gekko have to figure out how to
fix. The episode reveals the true meaning of being a hero: being a
good person and a good friend.
Beyond the first episode, exciting new characters, vibrant
locations, and super cool vehicles will all make cameos in season
four including:
- Newton Star: A new ally
emerges from a freak asteroid accident! The PJ Masks meet another
night-time hero in space. Bonus: He's also a friend during the
daytime.
- Octobella: A villainous octopus-like character who lives
in the canals below the city! The deceptively sweet-looking
Octobella dwells in her underwater lair.
- Pharaoh Boy: Another villain for the PJ Masks to defeat,
this time in the form of the original boy king come to life.
Pharaoh Boy first appears in a portal discovered in the
museum.
- Munki-Gu: A mischievous stone monkey who was trapped in
Mystery Mountain for 1,000 years – for being too naughty.
In addition to new friends and baddies, the trio will be also be
gaining new hero vehicles, formed by the PJ power crystals, which
can combine and transform into the new PJ Air Jet. Fans will be
thrilled to know that much of season four will come to life via
master toy partner Just Play's holiday 2020 line.

award-winning French animation studio TeamTO, along with Disney
Junior and France 5, PJ
Masks became a hit with TV viewers nationwide upon its U.S.
