SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron

SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron is an American animated action/sci-fi/supernatural TV series produced by Hanna-Barbera for NBC's Saturday morning block. It ran from 1993 to 1994, airing 25 episodes that spanned two seasons, followed by one episode-length clip-show special.

In a world populated by anthropomorphic cats, T-Bone and Razor, two disgraced ex-Enforcers, have turned to vigilantism in order to continue to safeguard Megakat City from criminals, sorcerers, mutants, and robots.

Aftermath
It was canceled due to merchandise coming out late and TBS conforming to Ted Turner's wishes in not having violence on his network. Three episodes were in production at the time of the series cancelation. One of them, "Succubus!" was recycled by writer Glenn Leopold for The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest episode "Eclipse" and the direct-to-video film Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island.

Since 2015, the Tremblay Bros., the creators who managed to retain the rights to the property, have been using Kickstarter to crowdfund a potential revival under the working title of SWAT-Kats Revolution. Even though all their goals have been reached, they have faced difficulties in securing an investor and a place to air, having been passed over by Warner Bros., Hulu, Netflix, and not finding Amazon to be suitable. They also had to wait for time to pass after the 2019 film Cats became a major box office disaster causing Hollywood not to see SWAT Kats any differently.

On January 20, 2021, the Tremblay Bros. announced on Kickstarter that they had secured an official backer in Indian studio, Toonz Media Group, and on February 1, Kidscreen said that they had gone into preproduction. An official press release was given the next day.

Music
The theme and score were composed by Matt Muhoberac and John Zucker for seasons one and two, with Randall Crissman and Nick Brown added to the latter. Bodie Chandler was director of music production.
