Best friends G, Love, Angel, Music and Baby make up the super cool all-girl band HJ5 in Kuu Kuu Harajuku. Executive produced by superstar Gwen Stefani, the five best friends are dedicated to making their mark on the music world, but must fight their way through villains, aliens and unexpected catastrophes to get there. In the premiere episode, Angel releases a Teen Genie with ‘tude and tries to use her three wishes to help HJ5 win a Totally Teen Awards Golden Hoodie trophy. New episodes will continue to air weekdays at 3:30 p.m. ET/PT.

From the streets of Paris come Marinette and Adrien, two junior high students both out to save the city from evil creatures in Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir. With the help of their magical powers, these two average teens transform into Ladybug and Cat Noir – their alter egos – and together protect the city from supervillain Hawk Moth. In the premiere episode, the dynamic duo must save Paris from the evil Mr. Pigeon’s motives to turn the city into a nature reserve after kidnapping park marshals. New episodes will continue to premiere on weekdays at 4 p.m. ET/PT from November 1 to November 11, before moving to its regular timeslot at 7 p.m. ET/PT on Wednesday, November 12.
