DreamWorks Animation and Netflix are continuing their exclusive content partnership with the original animated series "The Adventures of Puss in Boots."

The first five episodes of the new series, starring the feisty feline from the Shrek franchise, will be available on the streaming TV service Jan. 16 in the U.S., Canada, Latin America, the U.K, Ireland, the Nordics, Benelux and France. New episodes will debut throughout the year.

"The Adventures of Puss in Boots" is the latest in a growing list of original series that DreamWorks Animation has created for Netflix. The DreamWorks Animation lineup on Netflix also includes "Turbo FAST" and "All Hail King Julien," with new seasons of "DreamWorks Dragons" and "DinoTrux" coming soon.

"Action, comedy, adventure and heart combine with a dazzling visual style to make 'The Adventures of Puss in Boots' both unique and timeless," says Margie Cohn, head of television, DreamWorks Animation. "Puss is a hero for the ages. With a cold glass of leche in one hand and his sword in the other, there's nothing that could get in the way of this swashbuckling hero ... except hairballs."
