Mattel Television
Mattel Television, alternatively known from 2023 to 2025 as Mattel Television Studios and formerly known as Mattel Creations,[1] was the television division of American toy and entertainment company Mattel that operated from 31 March 2016[2][3] to 2 June 2025.
On 2 June 2025, Mattel announced a merger, combination and consolidation of this division and its filming division, Mattel Films, into Mattel Studios, elevating and/or promoting Mattel Films head Robbie Brenner to/as head of Mattel Studios. This is seen as a revival of the brand/banner Mattel used occasionally or sparingly between 2011 and 2013 in place of their main logo in the end credits for media entries of Monster High, Ever After High and Polly Pocket.[4][5][6][7] Consequestly, productions previously announced and in development with these two banners/divisions will now be assumed by/transferred to Mattel Studios.
