Teletoon will be airing the Spider Riders series that we previously reported about here. The show will premiere on March 25.

The March 25 premiere will be a 90-minute special presentation / sneak peek at the series, which joins Teletoon's regular schedule in summer 2006.

The series is based on the Spider Riders books, created by Tedd Anasti & Patsy Cameron-Anasti with Stephen D. Sullivan.

Production of the 52-episode TV series was handled by Bee Train, a subsidiary of Production I.G. The series is directed by Koichi Mashimo and scripted by Yousuke Kuroda.

Olga Romero of Cookie Jar Entertainment (Formerly Cinar) said of Spider Riders, "It has a Western feel but the Japanese anim? look."
