Production

Tapaas Chakravarti, Chairman and CEO of DQ Entertainment, said that they decided to make the second season of Jungle Book after the tremendous success of the first season in India and globally. The animated series had a fan following and, in his view, created the need to see more stories about Mowgli and his jungle friends. Tapas said that the second season will be followed by a TV movie special, a Christmas special, a Halloween special and many other spin-offs. The partnership between DQ Entertainment and ZDF was described as symbiotic as they were producing several other projects for them.[1]

An animated feature film based on the series was released in 2013.[2] The film was produced by Tapaas Chakravarti, and directed by Jun Falkenstein and Kevin Johnson.[3]

DQ Entertainment co-produced the third season with Ellipsanime.[4]
