Littlest Pet Shop: The Final Season Begins Nov. 7

Discovery Family just released promos for the Season 4 kick-off of Littlest Pet Shop (h/t to LPS superfan +Chevistian MadamePomNews for the heads up).

Unfortunately, Season 4 will be the last one since, despite strong ratings for DF, Netflix, and overseas, Hasbro has decided not to pick up the show--something to do with not selling enough toys, I'm told. <shrugs> Anyhoo, I had a blast writing for this awesome show and will miss working with a great bunch of people.

As mentioned, the final season will premiere Nov.7 and will be full of fun stuff so don't despair.  ;)

Check out the promo and let me know what you think!

Thank you for writing such a great show, Roger. Shame about there not being a season 5, but who knows what will come in the near future? Take care!

Thanks, Cameron! LPS was such a great show to work on. I miss it lots and would love it if the show returned some day.

Cameron S. Murphy said...

Agreed all the way! I wonder how a potential fifth season would do on Netflix? :)

Roger Eschbacher said...

I think it would do well. LPS has a loyal and enthusiastic fan base!

You know what I would like to see? A scene where Buttercream and Sugar Sprinkles interact as best friends! I don't seem to have that in the actual series.

Roger Eschbacher said...

That would be a fun scene!

Indeedy-Swedey! And I've got this crazy idea for an episode, but we'll wait and see how Hasbro feels. :)

Unknown: It would be great if LPS came back and I got to work on it!

It would be the best also I already have something planned so that I can do the same as before and it will be a crosover

I wish you didnt have to cancel the show. I remember growing up plating with the toys and the very old show that only had clips here and there and then an actual show was made. I wish I could of known where it was going after season 4. I wanted my daughter to grow up with littlest pet shops like I did as well.

Roger Eschbacher said...

All the people who worked on LPS loved the show and were sad that it got cancelled.
