The tenth season of the animated television series Robloxians, created by Angus Kennedy, aired on Children's Avast Television in the United States from January 2, to December 30, 2022, totaling twenty-nine episodes. Directed by Samantha Barnes and produced by Bloxy Animation Productions, it depicts the protagonist Sophie, who together with her close friends Alex, Douglas, Jake and the creature Amelia, goes on adventures around and outside of the village. The first fourteen episodes, titled Etta and Bob's Brand New Chapter follows the titular characters, and the rest of the group as they decide to embark on a new expedition to explore the world around them, discovering new worlds, people, and creatures while learning more about the planet.
The Spanish-language adaptation, which was produced by Producciones cinematográficas de Summerscreen and Avast Television, aired in Bloxico on Robloxian Educational Television from May 6, 2022, to January 27, 2023. The tenth season was met with positive reviews, with most of the praise directed at the Brand New Chapter miniseries. Critics and audiences praised the animation style, writing, directing, humor and comedy and was seen as the "beginning of the uphill" for the series. The English opening songs are "The Greatest Life" for 2 episodes, "The New Adventure of Etta and Bob" for 12 episodes and "The Life Is The Greatest" for 15 episodes.
Production
Background
With Samantha Barnes as the new showrunner, the episodes are directed by Esther Spencer, George Mendoza, Thomas Alexander and Frances Richardson, who also wrote the scripts. The voice cast stars Olivia Jackson, Alexander West, Thomas Tucker, Jennifer Washington, Harrison Patel, George Cox, and Robin Sanders, with Charles Harrison and Lara Stone voicing Amelia and the other Withers.
On January 2, 2021, Angus revealed that they were actively working on a new season of the series, but that it had not yet been green-lit by the corporation. Following the successful airing of the first episodes of the miniseries Etta and Bob's New Chapter, production began on a new miniseries, which was originally intended to serve as a spin-off to the miniseries and instead focus on Bob, with Samantha Barnes serving as the miniseries' producer rather than creator. However, during development, while episodes for the tenth season were being planned, Barnes decided to change and halt production on the planned miniseries because the concept of Etta and Bob and the entire group going on an adventure was the most popular, as determined by a crew poll. The transition occurred over the course of one month, with Barnes now serving as the series' writer, with the idea of her being the creator abandoned in favor of the other series members directing and writing episodes for the miniseries.
Development and second miniseries
On March 9, 2021, Avast Television officially stated that a tenth and eleventh season were in development at the studio, and that work on the ninth season had recently begun. The ninth season would be the last that Angus would work on as a crew member, having elected not to become a director or a writer like the previous seasons due to his focus on the miniseries and his intention to eventually halt production on the series. His choice was also influenced by current troubles that Angus' family was experiencing throughout the ninth season's filming. Angus stated in a June 2021 interview that he "would occasionally break down in tears because his family would not stop fighting and had no idea why they were". In a July 2021 interview, Angus Kennedy claimed that production on the ninth season was "underway" and that production on the 10 season might begin within the next few months.
The miniseries was originally meant to have seven episodes, but once storyboards for the first episodes were completed, plans were changed to add seven more, bringing the final number of episodes to 14. As a result, animators and producers were requested to sign contracts to begin production on the upcoming seven episodes. On August 9, 2021, the ninth season's release date was revealed to be around January 2022, with active development beginning for the remaining seven seasons. On December 14, 2021, Angus Kennedy was killed in a stabbing committed by his older sister, forcing production delays and significant changes to plans for subsequent episodes.
