“The Secret Saturdays” is an American animated series crafted by Canadian cartoonist Jay Stephens for Cartoon Network, premiering in the U.S. on October 3, 2008. The storyline centers on the Saturdays, a family dedicated to cryptozoology, who strive to conceal the existence of cryptids to safeguard both humanity and these mysterious creatures. Their global adventures involve studying cryptids and confronting nefarious foes, such as the power-hungry V.V. Argost. The show draws inspiration from the action-packed Hanna-Barbera series of the 1960s, infused with Stephens’ fascination with cryptozoology. The series concluded on January 30, 2010, but has been airing reruns on Boomerang since December 5, 2011. Additionally, the Saturdays are slated to make an appearance in “Ben 10: Omniverse.”
