It looks like something is stirring in team PAW Patrol. Rubble, the English Bulldog, is getting his own spinoff! According to Deadline, the announcement was made last Thursday at Nickelodeon’s upfront.
If you have young children, it’s hard to ignore those pups. PAW Patrol is a children’s series featured on both Nickelodeon and its preschool block, Nick Jr. The series follows the PAW Patrol, a team of search and rescue dogs that protect their local community, Adventure Bay. The dogs are all modeled after different emergency service professions, such as Chase the German Shepherd puppy who is a police officer, Marshal the Dalmatian who is a firefighter, Skye the cockapoo who works in air rescue, Rocky the mutt who works in recycling, Rubble the English Bulldog who works in construction, Zuma the chocolate lab that works in aquatic rescue, and the later pups such as Everest the husky, Tracker the Chihuahua, and more! The team is led by ten-year-old Ryder, who also serves as caretaker of the pups.

Paw Patrol was created by Keith Chapman, who also gave life to shows such as Bob the Builder and Roary the Racing Car. The show is produced by Spin Master Entertainment and animated by a crew at Guru Studio. The show made its big debut in August 2013 and has since exploded in popularity, with broadcasts and airings in over one hundred different countries. There are currently nine seasons of the show, with a tenth season just announced by the Nickelodeon Upfront. The pups also starred in their own film, 2021’s PAW Patrol: The Movie, with a sequel, Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie, coming in 2023! These pups just haven’t run out of energy!
Rubble on the Double!

It’s no doubt that Nickelodeon isn’t done with Paw Patrol, and neither are the young audiences. What’s not to love? It blends two things that kids love into a smart little package, dogs and grown-up jobs like construction, police, and more. There’s a pup for every kind of kid to pick for their favorite, and the variety is perfect for both children and marketing.
With the major success of Paw Patrol, it’s no wonder that one of them would break off from the team to star in his own series. Rubble seems to be one of the fan favorites among young audiences. After all, it’s hard to find a kid that doesn’t enjoy playing with construction toys in the dirt! The official Paw Patrol website describes Rubble as a “gruff but loveable English Bulldog that knows all about skateboards and snowboards. He loves to get dirty then jump into a bath. There’s no job Rubble’s construction digger can’t scoop up!”
It also makes sense that Rubble would get a bit of a spotlight considering Keith Chapman’s history with Bob the Builder. One can assume that a show starring Rubble might adopt a similar formula. Maybe Adventure Bay will begin expanding and will need Rubble to come on his own special missions. Perhaps we’ll get special guest appearances from the other pups on the team! Whatever the team decides on, it’s sure to be a smash hit with his fans.
