[1] Produced by Mainframe Studios and Silvergate Media for Netflix, the spin-off series premiered on September 7, 2021. [2] The series follows a similar structure to the original Octonauts series, but is primarily focused on terrestrial creatures and habitats. In addition, to cover this global range of missions, more characters join the crew as main characters in the series. The series also drops the original show's format of having just Barnacles, Kwazii and Peso go out on missions. Instead, the series now has a group of usually 2-3 of the Octonauts go out to help whichever Octo-Agent sounded the Octo Alert. Some episodes, however, can have almost entire crew go out on one mission, though this occurrence is rare. Due to this, many episodes completely exclude the presence of certain Octonauts, and in the first season it was common for Captain Barnacles and Kwazii in particular to barely attend missions at all. The front legs are also capable of acting as shovels, as seen in "The Stubborn Albatross" and "The Honey Badger", and the mouth also has an optional drill. Much like a small number of the Octonauts' previous gups, the TG-2 can fire fish biscuits from the mouth, and it can also go underwater via walking along the bottom, though it has only been submerged halfway in The Little Goby. A second season made a debut on May 2, 2022. [3] A third season debuted in October on the BBC iPlayer, with an unspecified release date on Netflix.

In this new show, there is an increased focus on exploring locations across the globe and helping creatures above the sea, in contrast to the original show. Another addition is the gained assistance of reoccurring characters from the new “Octo-Agents” branch, such as Min the Mapmaker and newcomers Paani and Selva. Almost all previously introduced friends and family of the Octonauts have been recruited as Octo-Agents, sporting new watches that can signal an Octo-Alert, amongst other helpful features. The new series also introduces the concept of " Terra Gups", which are Gups exclusively for land adventures. Responding to a range of new dangers across our ever-changing planet, the Octonauts take their adventures beyond the sea and onto LAND! Enlisting their intrepid friends from around the globe as specialized Octo-Agents, and equipped with a new fleet of land-based Terra Gups, the Octonauts’ mission is as vital as ever: They will EXPLORE harsh and remote environments, RESCUE animals that need their help, and PROTECT the land and all living creatures!“ -Silvergate Media, 2021 This is the first Terra-Gup that has a sole purpose of flying, though the Terra-Gup 1 can sort of fly (glide), the TG-6 can fly efficiently for longer distances. It also features a rescue/grappler line, which lowers from the front-most tip of the Terra-Gup. A second season was released May 2, 2022 on Netflix. The special double episode in this season is "The Octonauts and the Rainforest Rescue", which will focus on a rescuing a baby eaglet. [3] Fisher Price will also release an Above & Beyond toy line to sell alongside the existing main series toys.

According to the producers at Silvergate Media, attempts are being made to have Above & Beyond return to public television airings. Multiple seasons are expected for the series, with the production of 156 episodes (specials counting as 2 episodes) lasting from 2021 to 2024. The series is created by Silvergate Media, with Mainframe Studios (responsible for the Octonauts Netflix specials and Season 5) continuing to be involved in the production of new content for the franchise. Like the Octonauts Netflix specials, Above & Beyond is exclusive to the streaming platform. However, Silvergate is pushing for the series to air on TV again in the future.

Warning

This Terra-Gup can perform various movements, as shown in its debut episode, such as the ‘dart maneuver’. It also has a flutter mode, which is really a stall/hovering control, just like its inspiration. This Terra-Gup is based of a hummingbird, therefore can fly at extremely high speeds. When flying at high speeds, a shiny, luminous turquoise trail appears from the end of the Terra-Gup. The Terra-Gup has 2 seats, both with their own set of controls with an Octo-Alert button. It has a protective glass cover that spans around the center of the Terra-Gup, this is to keep the driver(s) dry when used in rain and/or snow.
