The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle is an American animated comedy streaming television series produced by DreamWorks Animation Television which is a reboot of the original "Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends". It debuted on May 11, 2018 on Prime Video, being DreamWorks Animation Television's first series to air on a streaming service other than Netflix.

Premise.
The series sees Rocky and Bullwinkle "thrust into harrowing situations but end up saving the day time and again". As Rocky and Bullwinkle’s innocent and silly ambitions to become rock stars or find lost treasure end up dovetailing with Fearless Leader’s sinister plans to take over the world, our heroes are set on a collision course with his notorious superspies Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale.
