Xiaolin Chronicles is a Canadian-American animated/CG television series presented as a continuation of the Warner Bros. series, Xiaolin Showdown.[4] The series premiered on August 26, 2013, with three back-to-back episodes serving as a preview. The full series premiered on September 14, 2013. It was produced by ActionFliks Media Corporation in collaboration with the French studio Genao Productions. Due to copyright some elements of the original show had to be changed.

The show aired for twenty episodes from August 26, 2013 to March 6, 2014 on Disney XD, leaving the last six episodes unaired in the United States until July 1, 2015, when Chronicles was made available to watch on Netflix.

In a newsletter published on July 25, 2015, creator Christy Hui announced that Chronicles will not continue with a second season and that it was planned to be a standalone series. However, she stated that there will be a new Xiaolin project that will continue in a format to that of Showdown.[5]

Production

Produced entirely in Canada with Christy Hui returning as executive producer, the show is animated in 2D animation while CGI was used for all of the Xiaolin Showdown scenes. The show features new character designs and a slightly altered logo for the show. With the exception of Tara Strong (Omi, Ping Pong) and Jennifer Hale (Katnappe, Willow), all of the original voice cast was replaced due to the show being a French/Canadian production. All Shen Gong Wu from the original series had to be renamed because Warner Bros. still owns the titles and rights to the names.

Plot

Omi, Kimiko, and Clay have recently risen to the rank of Shoku Warrior except for Raimundo, who already became a Shoku Warrior, where they must continue to uphold their duty of finding and collecting all of the mystical Shen Gong Wu power objects before the forces of evil do. They are joined by a recruit from Europe named Ping Pong, who competes with a mysterious girl named Willow for the position of Xiaolin Apprentice. Through the events of the show's pilot, the monks learn that Willow is evil, and is apprentice to the formidable Heylin warlord Chase Young. She and Chase destroy the temple and take all the Shen Gong Wu. With their temple destroyed, the monks must search for a new temple, while still trying to collect all the Shen Gong Wu and protecting the world from the likes of Chase Young and the villainous Jack Spicer.
