Apple & Onion

Apple & Onion is an American-British animated television series created for Cartoon Network by George Gendi, who also serves as executive producer. The series focuses on the main characters Apple and Onion in a settlement inhabited by anthropomorphic food.

Gendi first pitched the idea of the series to Cartoon Network Development Studio Europe whilst working on The Amazing World of Gumball in London, a series that he produced. Upon arriving in Burbank, Gendi approached Cartoon Network Studios with the concept, who greenlit the production of a pilot. The resulting short was selected to be screened alongside another Cartoon Network pilot, Welcome to My Life, at the Annecy Festival in 2015, before eventually being released online in May 2016. The short was picked up for a limited series in March 2017 which premiered on February 23, 2018, with a premiere on the Cartoon Network App and on-demand one week before the series.

On May 20, 2019, the series was picked up for a second season.
