Season 4 is the fourth season of PJ Masks. It was announced on June 5, 2019.[1] The source confirmed that they have started shooting on November 1, 2018 and ended on November 30, 2019.[2] It was intended to be set to premiere in the U.S. in April 2020,[3] but it was then moved back to May 15,[4] most likely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It opened up with a 4-part story arc[5] and concluded in the U.S. with a 2-part story arc on June 7, 2021.
Both the first and sixth mentioned characters have had their designs revealed at the aforementioned Toy Fair, while the second and fourth characters' CGI designs were revealed on YouTube, and the fifth character had his design revealed in the activity page on the official website.
As of this season, adapted versions of characters from the picture book series (aside from the PJ Masks, Romeo and Santa Claus) will now appear in the television series in order to remain faithful as possible with the book series (e.g. Pharaoh Boy being an adaptation of Apophis), with some changes done to fit with the aesthetics of the show.
Kyle Harrison Breitkopf, who was the voice of Gekko for three seasons, was replaced by Benjamin Hum. However, his voice can be briefly heard in the transformation sequence with the exception of Octobella's debut episode, with Benjamin's voice mixing with Kyle's voice. Other voice actor replacements included:
Cristian Perri, the Season 3 voice of Armadylan who was replaced by Avery Esteves, starting with the episode "Master Fang's Secret." Armadylan's early Season 4 voice was quickly replaced by TBA, starting with the episode "Octobella's Garden."
This was the first season to have the season premiere on the Disney Junior channel.
As of this season onward, the episode format is retooled to change the plots to feel more serious and detailed compared to its childish plots in the first three seasons of the series. Other adjustments include having almost every episode ending at nighttime, having a special episode at the beginning and end of each season, introducing new characters periodically in interval parts of a season (compared to introducing new characters all at once in the halfway point of a season), include more episodes that focus on the entire PJ Masks, and focusing less on the original three nighttime villains due to the large amount of villains in the series.
HQ introduced its underground basement in this season.
The PJs (with the exception of Owlette and PJ Robot) get their own PJ Wings.
This was the first season to have 25 episodes.
Still, there were 52 segments.
This was the first season to premiere on Disney+ in Italy and the United Kingdom due to Disney Junior being discontinued in those countries.
↑6 June 2019 EntertainmentOne article by Diana Veysey: "For the first time the series will open with a special 4-part episode taking PJ Masks fans on an exciting and dramatic, action-packed 44-minute adventure."
