The show aired on January 4, 2022 on Nickelodeon and was distributed by Paramount Global Distribution Group. The series was in a co-collaboration with the Sega Corporation, as one of the characters in the show, [https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Amy_Rose#:~:text=at%20Fandom%20Trivia-,Concept%20and%20creation,%22%20to%20Sonic's%20%22Mickey%22. Classic Amy Rose], was adapted from Amy Rose in the Sonic the Hedgehog series.

Overview
The show is set in the real life city of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin in the United States. In the Bunny Burrow, an 11 year old intelligent ginger-haired girl, Penelope Atchison (Liz Callaway), mainly spends her time with her family. In her family, is her older sister Ami Morrison (E. G. Daily), and her many other siblings, including Dimitri (Gwendolyn) Sherwood (Jennifer Hale), Zooey Fitzpatrick (Ashley Johnson), Classic Amy Rose (Lynn Harris), and many more of her sisters, and lives all with her Scottish doctor and mother Katherine Milton (Carey Mulligan).

Penelope wears her own Apple Watch, equipped with a built-in AI, programmed by Katherine Milton. She calls her watch “BeeMo”, but her AI always prefers to be called Kate. Kate is a nuisance for Penelope, and always gets on her nerves. On days where Penelope just wants to sleep in for a few more hours, Kate yells at full voice, despite her being a programmed AI.

In certain episodes, Penelope usually switches from Milwaukee County, Wisconsin to Royal Woods, Michigan when she has much free time. While she is in Royal Woods, she normally spends time with her new partner-in-crime and boyfriend Lincoln Loud (Bentley Griffin).

Main characters

 * Liz Callaway as:
 * Penelope Atchison (full name; Penelope Mildred-Lynnel Atchison) (age 11; born August 3, 2010); the 14th final adopted daughter of the Rose family. She’s a down to earth child around the Rose house. Penelope was born in Coventry, Rhode Island and was put up for adoption at the age of 3 by her birth parents. At times, she tends to come up with smart and witty jokes when needed at the time as a pastime of hers, but solely does it when times are good. She is a very sympathetic, bighearted, affectionate, and person to her friends and siblings. Likewise, she laughs at jokes, when she is reading one of her books in her bedroom upstairs and stumbles across a tongue-in-cheek moment. She loves gardening thanks to tending to Katherine’s garden outside at the front yard at times, but can be a chatterbox with her siblings to where it drives them crazy. Penelope is both a Brownie Girl Scout and Rose Scout who’s highly allergic to parsnips. Thanks to a friend of hers' idea at school, Penelope is a Dungeon Master of her own campaign in Dungeons and Dragons. She likes cute boys at school and talks too much about hyper obscure sitcoms on TV.
 * Grey DeLisle as:
 * Kate, Penelope Atchison’s AI-programmed smartwatch; a modified Apple Watch with an equipped AI, programmed by Katherine Milton. Kate is a bit of a contrary nuisance to Penelope, but Penelope doesn’t say much about her being a contrary nuisance to Kate, as Kate would leash out in fury, despite being a programmed AI.


 * Carey Mulligan as:
 * Dr. Katherine Milton, Penelope (and Penelope’s siblings)’s mother (age 37; born May 21, 1985); born in Leith in the north of Edinburgh, Scotland, Katherine is both a successful adoptive mother of the Rose Scouts and the proud owner and operator of her own little company that she founded and built from the ground up, a company in which is called “Rose Systems Company, LLC”, located eastward on the outskirts of Milwaukee County. Katherine, herself does tend to do a lot of vigorous daily exercise in her downtime and does let her adoptive daughters do exercise, too. She also can literally crush a watermelon with just her thighs due to her muscular structure and body thanks to Katherine dead-lifting exactly well over 250 pounds close to 400 pounds for two weeks straight for a solid five months nonstop, earning her the nickname “Mama Rose”. She’s the mother of the rabbots and the Rose Scouts, and she does happen to be the sole creator of her very own series of robots, the RS Series. The acronym, “RS,” which is used for the RS prototypes, stands for “Rose Systems”.
 * Jane Alexander as:
 * Gretchen Milton (age 55; born March 23, 1967); Katherine Milton's mother and she is from Greater Manchester, North West England in London, England. She was born and happily raised there throughout her young life as a small child into a family of five, then gave birth to Katherine at the age of 37 in Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland. Katherine moved to the United States when she was only 24 while her mother had stayed in England and visits the Rose House once in a while to either check on her only adoptive daughter, her kids, and the rabbots. Gretchen, or known as “Aunt Milton“ according to Blizzard and “Aunt Gretchie“ to the kids. Gretchen’s husband is unknown. When she visits the kids and the rabbots in the United States every so often and during the holidays, she does happen to have a habit of her coddling around with Katherine by making her embarrassed. That of which is by Gretchen coddling Katherine a lot and being proud of her daughter, being a sweet adoptive mother to the Rose kids. As such, like some moms, she does happen to have a habit of her coddling around with Katherine and that’s by making her embarrassed of being proud and her being a sweet adoptive mother to the rabbots and the kids. Just like Katherine, Gretchen can also drive. Of course, due to her being British, Gretchen does have a vehicle of her own, which is a 1955 Volkswagen Beetle that’s Doctor Who themed. It’s built and shaped exactly match like the T.A.R.D.I.S. and functions exactly like a T.A.R.D.I.S. from Doctor Who. As so, it allows her to travel from Greater Manchester, North West England, London, England in England to Milwaukee County, Wisconsin in the United States, thus dubbed her the nickname, the “Doctor” and her nickname of choice, the “Doctor/Gretchen.”
 * E. G. Daily as:
 * Ami Morrison the Fox (age 13; born September 12, 2008); the tough, strong, and mean tomboy and backbone of the Rose family. Deep within of herself in accordance to a rumour at her middle school, she does appear to have a concealed sweet spot of hers, and that sweet spot is that she loves mint candies and chocolate. Aside from this hidden candy spot of hers that was once sooner or later exposed in Season 1, Episode 7B in the episode, “Ami Comes Out of Her Fur!“. Ami has five friends at her nearby middle school and hangs out with them all the time when not busy. Underneath that tough, robust tomboy nature she takes very thoughtfully and profoundly, she does have a secret soft spot. That tender spot is her loving her household and friends. She is the middle daughter of the whole family and a Cadet Girl Scout in the Girl Scouts program.

 * Ashley Johnson as:
 * Zooey Fitzpatrick (age 9; born April 8, 2013); the twelfth adoptive daughter in the Rose household and due to her being a smarty-pants to her sisters in the Rose House; she has the voice of Gretchen Grundler from the show “Recess“ in terms of her temperament and a small bit of her personality. That aside, she can be a bit sassy and a little bossy to her sisters and the rabbots. Zooey can accidentally get into Amy's evil side, “Rosy the Rascal“. On the opposing end of her being sassy and bossy, she can happen to be a complete goof ball to her siblings at times. To the Rose Scout's findings, she loves carrots to where she cleared out the family refrigerator once, leaving no morsels behind. Zooey is a Brownie Girl Scout alongside the Rose Scouts, are enrolled in the local Girl Scouts program to provide the Scouts stuff to do when school’s not in session. That and to make the community a better place, she’s a great person to socialize with other people and raises money for non-profit charities. She’s a member of the Rose Scouts. She can be sneaky at times, since real rabbits are known to be sneaky.
 * Lynn Harris as:
 * Classic Amy Rose the Hedgehog (age 8; born May 8, 2014); an ex-damsel in distress from Sonic CD, now referred to as “Amy Rose the Hedgehog CD“ with the aid of her fans of her community. The purpose the video games are well known as this way is thanks to Sonic being laid off from Sega, hence enabling Amy to come to be the new mascot of Sega Corporation of America, Europe, and Japan. He disappeared from the Sonic Scene without a trace. Throughout this time of his extraordinarily long-term absence, she dimension-jumped out of her world to Earth with the aid of Dimitri, way back when she was once a small handheld device, referred to as the “Dimensionator“. This device allowed her to travel to different dimensions without complications. After being adopted by a lonely mom years later, Amy had become a full-time schoolchild and is a member of the Girl Scouts. She is the leader of her own Girl Scout-like troop, which she formed herself, called “The Rose Scouts“.

RS Prototype characters

 * Jennifer Hale as:
 * Dimitri (Gwendolyn) Sherwood, RS-9 (age 19); the ninth and “supposedly last” RS Prototype in the RS Series, and is the oldest of all her younger sisters. She does appear to snort a lot when she laughs, giggles, or even chuckles at times. This is due to a small, harmless birth deformity in her nostril that she obtained back when she was once a baby. In her uptime, she saves the town of Milwaukee and Earth from all evil. In her downtime, however, when she has any free time to herself, she reads magazines and the tabloids in her bedroom. Her adoptive mom, Katherine, still refers her by her old birth name, “Gwendolyn”, to this day.
 * Kate Burton as:
 * Samantha Hopkinson, RS-5 (age 14); the fifth prototype of the RS Series and is a relatively logical child and a naturalist through heart. In addition to her being a naturalist by way of heart, she is additionally a member of the Rabbot Brigade. In her downtime of doing rabbot associated duties, in any other case in fact, she is seen in the library room on the 2nd floor of the Bunny Burrow upstairs. Inside the library, she's seen studying chapter books and reading hundreds of Junie B. Jones books in her downtime. She only does this when she is off of her duties and has nothing to do or even whenever Amy's busy with Girl Scout meetings or with homework occupying her time, so Samantha hangs out at the Bunny Burrow's library. At lunch, however, in the Bunny Burrow’s cafeteria upstairs on the 2nd floor, she loves consuming old RAM sticks with WD-40 motor oil gently drizzled on them as a snack preference of hers.
 * Ami Foster as:
 * Addison Schneider, RS-4 (age 13); the fourth prototype in the RS series. She is the awkward but yet occasionally overly shy sister in the Rabbot Brigade when she's around new people. However, she does show up to get herself into trouble with her siblings at times due to her being prankish and mischievous she is. She's prankish mainly towards Kamiko, Andrea, and Allison around the Bunny Burrow and ends up in the timeout room with their oldest sister, Dimitri. However, Addison spends two hours with the older bunny, discussing what she's done to the other younger bunnies before. Addison can also at times be a difficult but a very sly and clever little rabbot at the Bunny Burrow sometimes. For that reason to be said is because of her fooling with some of her sisters because that is how Addison was raised. She was raised and later emerged as the cunning child she is in the Rose family itself for many years, very quickly to come for herself.
 * Emily Bauer as:
 * Kaitelynne Dougherty, RS-7 (age 13); the seventh prototype in the RS series. Due to her and the other rabbots having absolutely no programs or whatever, of which hooked up at all into themselves. This is thanks to them having their authentic brains in themselves and their custom-built bodies way lower back when they were first all grew to become into rabbots lower back on day one in April 2011.  This alone was entirely accomplished close to about ten to fifteen years in the past, back when the RS Units were without a doubt only simply Nokia smartphone bootleg-like products. On the different hand, Kaitelynne tends to be a little shy, a smart Alec, and a complete smarty-pants to the other rabbots throughout the Bunny Burrow and outside in the public sometimes. However, at different times, she's a straightforward, laid-back kid to women her age.
 * Nozomi Ōhashi as:
 * Kamiko Yokoyama, RS-3 (age 12); the third prototype in the RS series and speaks 100% Japanese as she is originally from Japan. Thanks to her being born and raised directly in Japan by her parents and family that goes back five centuries, Kamiko uses an English OS disk in order to talk to her siblings and mother in English. This disk is a special, but heavily custom-made Operating Software System Disk (or referred to as an O.S.S.D. for short) which Katherine designed for Kamiko to enable her to speak fluent English. Without this English OS disk she possesses to talk fluent English, she would be incapable to talk in English, that of which might make her speak in either “Engrish“. This could be a severely broken style of English or maybe just only Japanese, that of which is her original language, thus forming a language roadblock that may spell trouble, anger, total, and frustration for mainly Miss Kamiko Yokoyama herself.
 * Gillian Anderson as:
 * Allison Vineyard, RS-6 (age 12); the sixth prototype in the RS series. To anyone, she is pretty bubbly and enthusiastic towards her other sisters, meanwhile, she can be a bit sassy at times over her. This is primarily due to being in the center of the RS Series Model quantity line next to Samantha, who’s the true middle child of the RS Series itself due to Samantha being RS-5 while she’s RS-6. That, and mainly jealously and her being temperamental towards the other rabbots. On the other hand, at the Bunny Burrow at times, she is a rather cheerful little rabbot for a little woman her age like the other little rabbots are at times for that they are little kids as well.
 * Natalie Palamides as:
 * Isabella Callahan, RS-8 (age 11); the eighth prototype of the world renowned RS Series Katherine developed with the aid from Dr. Noreen Wakeman in assisting her to developing and building. Due to her being the eighth and almost the remaining prototype, she sometimes acts like Isabella Shapiro from Phineas and Ferb at times. Isabella says “What are you doing’?“ a lot around the house and at the Bunny Burrow, even in Katherine’s laboratory when Isabella is due for her monthly check-up. She says “What are you doing?’“ an awful lot that the siblings thought she was going nuts. One day, when she got herself smacked in the head thanks to the thwack of Amy's Piko-Piko Hammer by total accident when she and the Rose Scouts were playing baseball out in the front yard. As a result, the ball hit her in the head hard enough where it knocked herself out and had to be taken to the Bunny Burrow's emergency room. When she woke up minutes later dazed and confused, she didn't know what she was doing that day, therefore ceasing the Isabella Shapiro persona for good.
 * Nicole Byer as:
 * Andrea "Andi" Hatfield, RS-10 (age 11); more well-recognized as “Andi“, for which she is known by her nickname round the Bunny Burrow by the other rabbots and siblings. Andrea is the tenth and final prototype of the RS Series of robots. She was supposed to be the ninth and final prototype of the RS Series to ultimately replace Dimitri to be the “hero of Earth“ and not have her do all the difficult hard work. Hard work, of which she does on a daily basis, whilst the other rabbots get no acknowledgement for what they do at the Bunny Burrow. Nevertheless, Andi later stepped down days later due to her becoming overwhelmed with the bitter truth of balancing the job of saving the planet and her personal life in contrast to Dimitri. That is because she can balance it flawlessly, in contrast to Andrea’s screw-ups. In Andrea's downtime from working at the Bunny Burrow, she listens to tunes as a hobby of hers and likes enjoys going outdoors with her other sisters. The other rabbots named her “Andi“ as a lovely but very cute nickname of hers that she is called by at the Bunny Burrow.
 * Catherine Janet "Cathy"Cavadini as:
 * Mandy Maynard, RS-1 (age 11); the first prototype and initial starting point of the RS series, a series of machines that were broadly developed, designed, and built by Dr Katherine Milton the Rabbit. Thanks to her being the earliest prototype of the RS Series of robots, she may be a very happy and super reasonably peppy girl from time to time occasionally toward her siblings, but even she has her blow-ups and mess-ups. She is also a very proud but truly defiant commander and leader of a Girl Scout-like troop that she herself had formed, which is termed the “Rabbot Brigade“. This troop of RS Units have been formed during the very early days of when they were built by Stephanie Faulkner in the mid to late 2010s.
 * Tara Strong as:
 * Maxine Atwood, RS-2 (age 10; the second prototype of the RS Series, which was thoroughly built and developed by Dr. Katherine Milton the Rabbit for her series of robots, the RS Series. They’re best better known all around Milwaukee County and their very own neighborhood at the outskirts of town by their troop name that most of the neighbors within the Rose’s neighborhood know of by heart. Maxine, consistent with the other rabbots and her flesh-based sisters, is different from everyone else. She is a major know-it-all and a significant snitch toward her other older siblings and the other RS Units within the Bunny Burrow. As an inside joke around the Burrow, she has been dubbed the nickname, “Max the Snitcher-bot“ around the Bunny Burrow toward the younger rabbots. Due to how shrilly her voice can be when she’s shouting, she’s usually called “Bubbles“ around the Bunny Burrow as an inside joke of theirs. The Bunny Burrow was then later renamed the “Bunny Burrow“ thanks to one of Kaitelynne’s random ideas becoming a reality for the little rabbots when they were thinking of names to call their home.
