Lakewood Boys

Lakewood Boys is an American animated television series created by Brian Lisbon for. The show is a coming-of-age story that focuses on the misadventures of Baxter and Tristan Lakewood, two middle school-aged gray wolves and their shenanigans in the fictional city of Kingston. The show includes various other characters, such as the boys' younger sister Luna, mother Linda, and father Xavier.

The show often noted for its soundtrack, blending of retro and modern technology, and mixing of 2D characters and 3D backgrounds. Though it is intended to be a family-friendly series, it is also noted for its commentary on and handling of serious or mature topics, including ageing (particularly puberty), bullying, abusive relationships, and prejudice.

In the late 2000s, Cartoon Network contacted Lisbon about pitching ideas for a series aimed at its older demographic, and he almost immediately pitched an animated comedy-drama. Lisbon began developing the show in the late 2000s under the working title The Brothers Lakewood, using characters he previously planned on using for a graphic novel. Cartoon Network would eventually greenlight a sixteen-episode first season.

The series was produced by Studio MP3 and, and was animated by five South Korean studios over the course of its run. It was broadcast from October 19, 2012 to May 6, 2022, running for nine seasons and 170 episodes. On May 8, 2022, Cartoon Network confirmed that a feature film based on the series was in development under the working title Lakewood Boys: The Movie, as well as a spin-off series.

Premise
Lakewood Boys, which is set in a world of anthropomorphic animals, revolves around the shenanigans of two 11- to 13-year-old gray wolves, Baxter and Tristan Lakewood, in the fictional city of Kingston, during which they usually interact with their family—devious younger sister Luna, mother Linda, and father Xavier. Baxter and Tristan attend school at the often-chaotic Kingston Middle School.
