When the autumn slate of television programming for youths is in full gear, just what we enjoy watching isn’t always going to be offered on the big three—Amazon Prime, Netflix or Hulu. There’s some great animated series in the world of streaming rather than network for obvious reasons. Luckily, the last stretch of 2025 has a few curious newcomers and oddball experiments worth watching—or at least watching for. Some shimmer with potential, others… less so (Armorsaurs, we’re side-eyeing you). As to be fair for Devil May Cry, they deserve honourable mention despite having started in Spring than Fall.
The Sisters Grimm (Apple TV+)
October 3
A darkly charming fairy-tale mystery that balances heart and humour, The Sisters Grimm is Titmouse Inc.’s spin on Michael Buckley’s novels. Here, Sabrina and Daphne get suddenly orphaned when their parents disappear. They go live with their grandmother and when they learn there is more to their dad than meets the eye, what they do next is hardly surprising. They must navigate challenges of looking out for each other in a world where fairy tales are real!
Smart writing, lush design, and a tone that doesn’t talk down to its audience—it’s Apple’s most confident foray into youth fantasy since Wolfwalkers. And if you’ve seen DreamWorks Curses! you’ll recognise the storytelling model used too!
