In addition to the new series, Gabby and the Gabby Cats return on Sept. 14 for Season 14 of Gabby’s Dollhouse, which was the No. 4 series on Netflix in the second half of 2025 with roughly 108 million views.

“Since Gabby's Dollhouse first premiered on Netflix in 2021, a world of creativity and imagination has exploded for our young audience and it only continues to grow,” said Gabby’s Dollhouse co-creators Jennifer Twomey and Traci Paige Johnson. “We've been so lucky to continue playing and creating in the Dollhouse, with a fourteenth season coming to Netflix, and now a competition series that brings play to life in a new way.”
