Tetris: World Builders Announced as CG‑Animated Children's Series

The Tetris Company says the show will translate the game's puzzle mechanics into character-driven STEAM lessons to expand the brand into serialized TV.

Overview

  • The Tetris Company revealed the project at the Annecy animation festival as Tetris: World Builders, and French studio TeamTO is developing the show with veteran producer Chuck Williams attached.
  • A published synopsis says mysterious Tetrimino blocks rain from the sky and a team of young 'World Builders' use ingenuity, teamwork and STEAM-based problem solving to reshape landscapes and help communities.
  • The series is aimed at children and will for the first time place human child characters inside a Tetris-inspired world to create emotional, character-led stories.
  • The project is in early development with no release date, distributor or production timeline announced, leaving distribution and scheduling as the next major details to emerge.
  • The move follows a wider trend of adapting game franchises for film and TV and could open Tetris to educational tie-ins, transmedia projects and partnerships if the show pursues its STEAM goals.
