In March 2023, five new episodes under the original Octonauts branding and format were released via the BBC iPlayer. A young penguin who visits in season 1 – episode 24, [10] season 1 – episode 32 [11] and Special 1. [12] He initially aspires to be a pirate like Kwazii but later decides he'd rather be a medic like Peso. In The Flying Foxes, it crashed for the first time as the engines overheated, causing the engines, electrical systems, and air conditioning to fail, hence making the cabin too hot, forcing Dashi and Peso to sleep on the roof in the desert overnight. In this new show, there is an increased focus on exploring locations across the globe and helping creatures above the sea, in contrast to the original show. Another addition is the gained assistance of reoccurring characters from the new “Octo-Agents” branch, such as Min the Mapmaker and newcomers Paani and Selva. Almost all previously introduced friends and family of the Octonauts have been recruited as Octo-Agents, sporting new watches that can signal an Octo-Alert, amongst other helpful features. The new series also introduces the concept of " Terra Gups", which are Gups exclusively for land adventures. Unlike the original show, Above & Beyond’s merchandising comes from Moose Toys, known best for their successful Bluey line of figures and plush toys.

Kwazii's favorite. This vehicle is a turbo sub so is the fastest of all GUPs. When Kwazii loses this GUP, it is revealed that he painted the shark teeth. In some episodes, Kwazii continuously crashes the GUP-B, leading to occasional modification by Tweak during the series: Vegimals are half-animal, half-vegetable creatures. The vegimals were discovered by Shellington as eggs attached to the side of the Octopod. To protect them he brought them into his lab, where they hatched a few days later. After a few weeks, they established themselves as an integral part of the crew. [5] [6] They primarily speak Vegimalese, a language made of chirps and warbles (heavily accented English with inter-mixed gibberish), though they also speak a limited amount of English (with an accent). Shellington is the only (non-vegimal) Octonaut who has some fluency in Vegimalese.In The Mountain Parrots, a pair of Kea Birds become curious of the ship and get into everything which ends up making a mess. They even accidentally tamper with the rotor but managed to help fix it before the rotor failed. In 2010, The Octonauts was adapted into a 52-episode CGI animated television series co-produced by Chorion and Brown Bag Films.
