French animation production and distribution company Dandelooo has confirmed that France Televisions has commissioned a second season of the preschool series Billy the Cowboy Hamster.
The new season is co-produced by Belgian independent production company Bardaf! Productions and RTBF, the public broadcaster serving Belgium’s French-speaking community. The majority of the production will take place at Dandelooo’s in-house animation studio Ooolala in la Cartoucherie, Valence (France), with delivery slated for Autumn 2026.
The 2D animation series — based on the eponym series of eight books by Dutch author and illustrator Catharina Valckx — follows Billy, a cute hamster who wants to become a cowboy.
In season 2, directed by Cedric Guarneri, Billy along with his trusty companions Jean-Claude and Suzie, are back. As the Wild West begins to change, the arrival of the railroad, the camera, and even cinema brings a wave of excitement and unexpected challenges into their lives. With a perfect blend of old-world charm and new-world inventions, Billy and his friends must navigate this evolving landscape.
