Strawberry Shortcake has her big bonnet and strawberry-shaped house back. The new show is leaning into her 1980s look, right down to the red curls.
WildBrain says Strawberry Shortcake’s Bake Shop will premiere its first two episodes on October 16, 2026, on the official Strawberry Shortcake YouTube channel. Custard the cat is back beside her, too.
This is a new CG-animated series inspired by the character’s 1980s look. The familiar strawberry-shaped home is in Berryville, where Strawberry runs a neighborhood bakery and her friends drop in to help, eat or share a laugh.
These are tiny episodes, not a whole-season drop
The season has 26 episodes of about three minutes each, with the rest rolling out over the following year. There are eight new songs along the way. So October 16 gets you the opening pair, rather than an entire afternoon’s worth of episodes at once.
The new trailer announcement also brings back Orange Blossom, Blueberry Muffin, Huckleberry Pie, Raspberry Tart and Apple Dumplin’ in updated versions of their classic designs. WildBrain says longtime fans can expect little nods to the brand’s history.
The intended audience is kids ages 4–8, though the giant bonnet is doing a pretty effective job of getting the grown-ups’ attention.
You can watch the official trailer now. The bakery opens October 16.
