Zokie of Planet Ruby

Zokie of Planet Ruby is a Canadian animated television series created by Brian Morante that premiered on Amazon Prime Video on December 31, 2023. The series is directed by Nelvana employee Mike Geiger. The first season consists of 26 episodes. It has been renewed for a second season.

Premise
The series is about a 10-year-old vlogger named Ruby who starts a video channel called Planet Ruby. When she discovers that her first follower is a space alien named Zokie Sparkleby, the two become best friends who film their everyday adventures.

Main

 * Zokie Sparkleby (voiced by Zach Reino) is a short blue alien from Planet Pudge. He decides to stay on Earth with Ruby. He is very outgoing, optimistic, and helpful, but he is also naïve and clueless about Earth.
 * Ruby Studebaker (voiced by Bahia Watson) is an excitable young video vlogger who lives in an apartment building. Her channel is called Planet Ruby. When she discovers that Zokie is her first (and only) follower, the two become best friends.

Recurring

 * Earl (voiced by Cory Doran) is a cranky, accident-prone squirrel. He has a selfish and sarcastic demeanor, and finds Zokie and Ruby greatly annoying due to their naïve and childish antics, as well as inadvertently gifting him the ability to talk. He has a habit of eating disgusting things and pulling off cons to get money, which usually painfully backfire on him. He begins dating Konko as of "Love Nuts".
 * Dee (voice by Sabryn Rock) and Stan (voiced by Joshua Graham) are Ruby's parents. Both of them work gig jobs that change from episode to episode.
 * Grandma Pearl (voiced by Alana Bridgewater) is Ruby's maternal grandmother who loves going to the gym. She is also more tech-savvy than most seniors.
 * Tweenkle (voiced by Melissa Altro) is a bratty 15-year-old teenage girl with an extremely popular channel on MeScreen. In "Tweenkle Rebrands", she, as the title suggests, rebrands into Teenkle upon turning 16, eventually becoming the leader of a pack of wolves and leaving her civilized life behind to start anew with them, though she makes one final appearance in "The End Times". Her name is a portmanteau of "tweenager" and "twinkle".
 * King Pootywinkle (voiced by Ryan Beil) is the tyrannical, dangerously immature Pomeranian dog king of Zokie's home planet, and the show's primary antagonist.
 * Konko (voiced by Sharron Matthews) is King Pootywinkle's assistant, a seemingly brutish, yet sensitive and soft pink dog-like alien. As of "Love Nuts", she has begun dating Earl.
