Plot Synopsis

Created by Marc Brown, HOP is an animated children's series that follows an eclectic group of besties whose comedic adventures teach preschoolers to embrace their own, and others', uniqueness. Led by Hop, an enthusiastic, empathetic frog with one leg shorter than the other, he and his quirky friends address kid-relatable challenges with a healthy dose of laughter, silliness, and adventure. Set in the aspirational community of Fair Village, every episode is grounded in emotional reality but soars into the world of fantasy, populated by dragons, trolls, and talking banjos. With a gentle balance of humor and heart, our heroes promise to captivate audiences with delightful journeys filled with friendship, valuable life lessons and endless possibilities. HOP debuted on Thursday, April 4, 2024 on Max, which released the first six episodes.

Seven additional episodes of HOP debuted on Thursday, August 15, 2024 on Max. In these brand-new episodes, Hop, an enthusiastic, empathetic frog with one leg shorter than the other, and his quirky friends continue to navigate the mud puddles of life with a healthy dose of laughter, silliness, and adventure. "Our entire ensemble cast of characters are coping with some type of disability, which teaches our audience to embrace their own, and others', uniqueness," said Marc Brown. "In this new batch of episodes we introduce a blind character and we continue to create a show that will challenge our viewers to understand and appreciate people who are not like them." In the mid-season debut, "Benny's Birthday Book; Dessert Disaster," Filipa gifts Benny a handmade book for his birthday, and it becomes his most favorite book -- he loves it so much that he doesn't want to lend it to anyone else; Hop, Penny, and Hoot are asked to make the Best Cake Ever for Lonny's Birthday.
