Filly Funtasia is an animated fantasy television series created by Jacob and Henrik Andersen for Dracco. The series follows filly Rose and her friends as they attend a magical academy in the royal kingdom of Funtasia. It is based on the Filly toy franchise. The series was originally produced by Dracco Brands, BRB Internacional, Screen 21, and Black Dragon Entertainment, but the latter three companies dropped out of producing the series around 2016, and the former dropped out in 2019. Guangzhou Huamai Animation Studios, B-Water Animation Studios, and Zhaolong Culture joined production much later and managed to complete what the other studios left behind.
After five years of development hell starting from 2014 when Filly Funtasia was originally supposed to premiere, the series finally premiered on March 11, 2019, on Frisbee in Italy. The series also premiered on November 28, 2019, on iQiyi in China.
The show was renewed for a second season that was released on iQiyi on December 25, 2020.
In early 2021, an earlier produced English version of the series started streaming on the KidsFlix and MyToonz apps in the United States for three episodes. On March 3, 2022, the series officially premiered with a finalized English version on Channel 5 in Singapore, with episodes being made available on their meWATCH VOD.
The owners of the franchise have repeatedly claimed that a third season would be released over the years, the latest of which being in 2025. However, there is no definitive status of its release, and it has been postponed for the time being.
