Kulipari is an animated television series created by Trevor Pryce for Netflix. It is co-produced by Splash Entertainment, The Outlook Company and Telegael Teoranta. Its first season, subtitled An Army of Frogs, was released in September 2016. The show is based on Pryce's novel series of the same name. Kulipari: Heritage, a four-issue comic miniseries taking place between the first and second seasons, was published by Red 5 Comics and released from August to November 2016.^[2] The series was renewed for a second season called Kulipari: Dream Walker on March 8, 2017, which was released on November 20, 2018.^[3][4] A graphic novel called Kulipari: Warflower was purported to be released on January 1, 2019, but it was canceled.

Three compilation movies for season 1, Kulipari: An Army of Frogs, Kulipari: Mercenaries and Kulipari: Amphibian's Rise have been released on Amazon, Google Play and iTunes between 2017 and 2018.

On February 28, 2023, it was announced that Hulu will be continuing the series with a newly announced third season titled Kulipari: A King Rises, set to premiere at the end of the year, as well as a CGI film reboot of the first season, set to premiere in 2024. The first two seasons were added to Hulu in February.^[5] The first two seasons have also been remastered and include new opening and ending credit sequences.

The series takes place in the Amphibilands—a hidden village of frogs. For many years the inhabitants of the Amphibilands have lived safely, protected by a magical Veil and an elite group of poison frogs called the Kulipari. The story begins with the frogs of the Amphibilands finding their homeland threatened by an army of scorpions teamed up with the magically powerful Spider Queen. Our hero, Darel, a young frog that has always dreamed of joining the Kulipari despite his lack of poison, finds himself at the front of the battle. With the help of his friends, Darel must overcome his anxieties to embrace his dream of becoming a Kulipari warrior and save all the frogs from extinction.^[6]
