LOLIROCK SEASON 1 PRODUCTION FINISHED !
Hi everyone, it’s a big day for all the team. Today, we completed episode #126, last one of the first season… Like Iris above, we barely believe it yet, but it feels so great !
We can’t wait for the remaining 13 episodes to be broadcasted… and of course, we hope you’ll like them as much as you liked the first half of the season.
Now time for us to celebrate, and then, back to work ! We only need to finish 5 more clips and 26 more episodes and season 2 will be completed too ! Yeaaaah ! :D
To be completely honest, we can’t wait to work on these new episodes from season 2… and, if you liked “Xeris” and “Shanila Surprise”, then you’ll probably love what we’ve prepared. ;)
(Thanks a lot to Christelle “Kuri” Abgrall for this drawing !)

Solving the mystery of the episode list order…
Hi Lolirock fans, the list above was found on Internet a while ago. It resulted in lot of confusion as the order of episode here is not the same as the airing order on different channels. (There was even an edit war on the french wikipedia page because of this…). We think it’s time to solve this puzzle…
First of all, yes, these are the official production numbers and titles of season 1 episodes, both in english and french. (by “production number”, we mean “the story order”)
Regarding the airing order, which is different, it’s a little bit more complicated. Long story short, a production never goes fully as intended. We had to change the production order a few times, since some episodes needed more work than other. This had an effect on the airing order at some point.
For us, It was not that big an issue : when we wrote the show, we tried to put a sense of progression, but overall, LoliRock episodes can be watched in disorder (it was one of the french broadcaster’s demands), save for :
- Ep.01 “To Find a Princess”, that is the first one, introducing plot and characters.
- And Ep.25-26 “Home” (Part 1 and 2), that are the season ending makes a transition with season 2.
Now, you’d rather not watch episodes such as Ep.06 (Xeris) or Ep.19 (Shanila), both heavy mythological episodes, right from the start… but even if you did, you’d still have all the keys to understand what’s going on inside the episode. You would miss a few references, but nothing worse.
So, if you ask us what the correct, and most enjoyable, airing order is, we’d say “Follow the order you want ! It doesn’t matter ! If you want to keep it easy, ok, then follow this list (meaning the story order). It’s not perfect, but it works. If you think swapping two episodes makes it more enjoyable, then do it ! :) As long as you like it.”.
Currently, as far as we know, 13 episodes were broadcasted on french channels, and a few more on other channels… we don’t know exactly when new episodes will be broadcasted in France, but we’re the same as you : waiting for them ! :)
