Brats of the Lost Nebula is a Canadian science fiction puppet computer-animated television series for kids. The series follows five orphaned children from different war-torn planets. As they search for their surviving family members, they must also band together to fight an evil invading force known as "The Shock".
The series was created by Dan Clark, who was also an executive producer along with Brian Henson and Margaret Loesch. The puppet characters mixed both traditional hand puppetry and animatronics. These puppets were built by Jim Henson's Creature Shop. The computer graphics were created by C.O.R.E. Digital Effects.
In the United States, the series aired on The WB during the Kids' WB block in October 1998, being one of the only two live-action shows (the other being The Nightmare Room) that were ever aired on that channel. It was removed from the channel after airing its third episode.[1] The remaining episodes were shown on Canada's YTV channel.

Broadcast
In the United States, the series premiered on the Kids' WB block on October 10, 1998. It was removed from the schedule after airing its third episode on October 24.[1] At the time, a publicist from the WB network said, "We're trying to figure out what works best in our lineup and when. The show has not been cancelled. It should eventually return, we just don't know when and where."[1] In Canada, all thirteen episodes aired on YTV from November 1998 onward. The last episode debuted January 20, 1999.[3]
In April 2020, hundreds of hours of Jim Henson Company productions were released on Roku, including Brats of the Lost Nebula.[4]
Unproduced follow-ups
In early 1999, a Playback article reported that "another thirteen are on the way,"[5] but these new episodes were never produced. In September 2002, Kidscreen mentioned that the Dan Clark Company was "currently working on a Brats of the Lost Nebula direct-to-video title with Henson."[6]
