Fans of the iconic crime investigation series ‘CID’ are in for a nostalgic yet fresh experience as Sony YAY! gears up to launch ‘CID Squad’, India’s first-ever animated crime thriller.

Produced by YAY! Animations, the show is set to bring the legendary investigative team—Inspector Pradyuman, Daya, and Abhijit—into a dynamic animated universe, offering both longtime fans and new viewers an action-packed adventure like never before.

Premiering on March 17, 2025, CID Squad will be available in multiple languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Bangla, ensuring a wide reach across diverse audiences in India. By blending mystery, adventure, and humor, the series aims to redefine crime storytelling for younger viewers while paying homage to the cult classic that dominated Indian television for over two decades.

The series seamlessly merges thrilling investigations with engaging storytelling, making crime-solving not just intense but also fun and accessible for audiences of all ages.

Sony YAY!’s vision for CID Squad goes beyond just entertainment. By incorporating lighthearted humor, engaging characters, and high-energy action, the show creates a fresh format that makes crime-solving exciting for kids and families alike. The animation style breathes new life into the legendary characters, ensuring their appeal extends to a new generation.

With ‘CID Squad’, Sony YAY! continues to push creative boundaries in animated content. The network has been at the forefront of bringing Indian-themed animated originals, and this latest venture reinforces its commitment to storytelling that resonates with young viewers.

Speaking on the launch, a Sony YAY! spokesperson shared, “With CID Squad, we are bringing a timeless franchise into the animation world in a way that excites both loyal CID fans and younger audiences.
