Lakewood Boys

Lakewood Boys is an American-Australian animated sitcom created by George Cormick for. The show is focuses on the misadventures of Benny and Baxter Lakewood, two 11-year-old anthropomorphic 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.

Cormick began developing the show for in 2008 under the working title The Brothers Lakewood, using characters he previously planned on using for a graphic novel. After the concept was rejected, he turned to Cartoon Network, which greenlit a sixteen-episode first season. The series was produced by and animated by the Australian companies Studio MP3, Cherry Studio (season 1), Linkhouse Animation (seasons 2–7), and Studio Hoodwink (seasons 8–9).

The show often implements stylistic disunity and is best recognized by its soundtrack, blending of 1990s and modern technology, and "animation blending"—particularly its use of traditionally animated characters interacting with realistic computer-generated 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.

The series was broadcast from October 19, 2012 to May 6, 2022, running for nine seasons and 170 episodes. On May 8, 2022 (one day after the series finale aired on ), 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.
