So far, it's only appeared in English, including the trailer for season 2. There are no previews set-up for any other PM YouTube channels yet, so I'm wondering why the English version has gotten such precedence. The character of Faylinn was seen in the original ads for season 1 but hasn't appeared until now; she's included in the opening credits, along with the new figure of Flinton Spark. I'm waiting for the skeleton army.

I am not sure we will see Skeleton Army that much yet. the episodes that are coming out now we actually developed for a fall 2020 release. But management in its superiour wisdom put it on hold mid production for reasons that are "comedy gold". Since this new episode is 1:1 with the story and script we had then, i expect only a small teaser towards the Violet Vale in the next 13 episodes.

Do you know of season 2 will be the last or there will be more to follow and if there are plans to continue the Novelmore themes for a couple more years? And will Playmobil also release Green Grove and Amber Empire?

All I can say is that when i departed at PLAYMOBIL i left a franchise bible behind that detailed the other realms, described further stories and overall design directions that could keep them going for quite a few years. As it was really the first PM theme that was planned and developed as a multi-year product arc, I can imagine we will see those other realms pop up the next years.

Can you tell me what the idea behind Green Grove and Amber Empire is?

Just watched the most recent episode,  and know I need a Flinton Spark figure in his original costume. How did they do sets to this series and not include him? Musical number wss ok but not quite catchy enough.

Musical number was ok but not quite catchy enough.

When the musical bit started, I was reminded of how I felt when I first watched "A Knight's Tale."

So, I suppose I'm quite late, but I finally watched all of the episodes that have been released so far. As of today, that means up to Episode 26. I'm not sure whether this (or slightly before it) is meant to be the end of the second season, but it seems to have flowed right into the next plotline with the introduction of the Violet Vale and Timithor's apprentices.

And, well, overall I think the series is really cool. Great job collectobart and everyone else who worked on this! <*) It has a lot of fantastic characters, and, while the theme is definitely not as simple as the old Magic and Knights themes, I think it blends the fantasy elements together really nicely. Some of the more modern things (like some of Dario's inventions) can be a bit strange in the setting, but they don't detract from the story. I would really like to have the series on DVD or BD, but I expect that there won't be any official releases with the popularity of streaming (and unpopularity of disc media) now.

I agree with many of you that the classic Playmobil look is really well done in all of the characters and settings. A set with just all of the background characters that show up would be excellent; some of them would be nice for any Medieval setting!

I agree! How was he not included in a set? That is pretty surprising, but I suppose not as surprising as that random song in Episode 18! :lol:
