half-hour, action-adventure animated series “G.I. Joe Renegades,” Friday,
November 26. The Hub is a joint venture of Discovery
Communications and Hasbro, Inc., and is available to 60 million U.S.
cable and satellite households.


The new animated series, a re-imagining of the popular, original series
“G.I. Joe A Real American Hero,” takes viewers back to the origins of
the G.I. Joe storyline, in which the world’s most elite renegade force
of highly trained specialists are forced to band together to prevent
their nemesis, the evil forces of Cobra Industries, from achieving
global domination.


“G.I. Joe Renegades” is produced for The Hub by Hasbro Studios. The
series is executive produced by Jeff Kline, whose television credits
include “Transformers: Prime” and “Jackie Chan Adventures.”


Preceding the series debut, The Hub will present a half-hour
behind-the-scenes special, “Hub Exclusive: ‘G.I. Joe Renegades’ and
‘Transformers: Prime’” (3:30 p.m. ET),
showcasing two original series on The Hub. The special is followed by
the world premiere of the first two half-hour episodes (5
p.m. and 5:30 p.m. ET) of “G.I. Joe Renegades.” The series will
continue in its regular time period, Friday, December 3, with an encore
presentation at 5 p.m. ET and a new episode premiere at 5:30 p.m. ET.


Starring in the series premiere are Lee Majors (“The Six Million Dollar
Man”) as “General Abernathy,” and Charlie Adler, the original Cobra
Commander from the animated series “G.I. Joe: Resolute,” who reprises
his role in the new series. “G.I. Joe Renegades” also includes an
