Toto the Ninja Cat, the book created by TV host Dermot O’Leary, is being turned into an animated TV series.

The series is inspired by O’Leary’s own cats and tells the story of Toto, a partially sighted cat with razor-sharp senses, a nose for danger and a crime-busting spirit of adventure.

“Toto the Ninja Cat is about to go on her next big adventure, being brought to life in her own animated children’s series,” said O’Leary.

“I had so much fun writing the books and so I can’t wait to see the world I created on the page unfold on the screen.”

The show will go into production in early 2024.
