Ryan's Mystery Playdate is a Live-Action children's TV series based on the Ryan's World YouTube series. It premiered on Nick Jr. on April 19, 2019.
The series focuses on Ryan Kaji and his parents, Shion and Loann, along with animated sidekicks Gus and Combo. In every episode, Ryan is having a playdate, and has to take part in various physical challenges to get a clue to the playdate's theme and its mystery guest.
A second season was commissioned one week after it first aired, followed by a third on the way in 2020.
Tropes:
- Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: All episodes follow the pattern "Ryan's (noun) Playdate". Doubles as Spoiler Title since the middle part refers to the theme of the playdate in the episode.
- Medium Blending: Gus and Combo are Adobe Flash animated.
- Rule of Three: Ryan must gain three clues to the playdate through the challanges.
