What happens when three totally mismatched teens from Planet Eire crash-land on an ancient prison planet? Chaos, danger, and the fight of their lives. Welcome to HOLT, the new action-packed Irish animated series premiering this April 7 on RTÉ2.
Produced by Igloo Animations and Digitoonz and backed by Screen Ireland, RTÉ, and Coimisiún na Meán, this 26-episode fantasy adventure is filled with monsters, magic, and intergalactic mayhem.
Meet the heroes of HOLT
Roo, Umba, and Metric — three classmates from Planet Eire who barely know each other are thrown together when a freak accident hurls their spaceship off course during a school trip. They crash on Fomoire, a long-forgotten, ancient prison planet teeming with terrifying creatures, hidden secrets, and untold dangers.
With a dark force called the Blight threatening to consume the universe, our unlikely heroes must survive Fomoire, uncover its hidden mysteries, and rally allies to save their home - because if they ever hope to return to Planet Eire, they must first help save the universe.
Created by the multi-award-winning team at Igloo Animations, HOLT is set to be an action-packed ride that showcases Ireland’s animation industry.
Trevor Courtney, producer and director of Igloo Animations, says: "HOLT is the kind of show we dreamed of making when we first got into animation. This show is a celebration of imagination, storytelling, and the incredible Irish animation and voice talent that brings it to life. We are beyond excited to share HOLT with audiences across Ireland."
Premiering on April 7 at 3:55pm on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Kids.
