Our beloved Aaron Blabey has been making waves again, and we couldn't be more thrilled! Fans of his mischievous crew will be delighted to hear that *The Bad Guys 2* began streaming on Netflix this past March 21st, giving us all another chance to catch up with Mr. Wolf and the gang as they navigate their hilariously good intentions. It’s a fantastic opportunity to revisit the animated antics that sprang from his brilliant book series.
But that's not all the exciting news! Aaron Blabey, who once contemplated retirement after completing his fortieth book, has signed a phenomenal eight-figure deal with Macmillan Children's Publishing Group. This incredible partnership will bring us two brand-new middle-grade series, *Game of Pets* and *The Awfuls*. We're particularly looking forward to the debut of *Game of Pets*, slated for publication in autumn 2026, which promises a captivating world where our beloved pets might just be avatars in a giant cosmic board game.
The excitement doesn't stop there, as Macmillan and Foundation Media Partners are already planning to develop *Game of Pets* into a feature film franchise, following the success of his previous adaptations like *Thelma the Unicorn*. It's clear that Aaron Blabey's unique blend of humor, heart, and high-stakes adventure continues to capture imaginations both on the page and on screen.
Aaron Blabey truly has a gift for crafting stories that resonate deeply with young readers, filled with unforgettable characters and unexpected twists. His ability to blend laugh-out-loud moments with meaningful themes is what makes his work so enduringly popular. Have a look through their collection below — there is always something worth discovering.
