Though by far not as frequent an occurrence as the webisodes, a significant portion of the total run time of the Ever After High cartoon is provided by the TV specials. While the webisodes usually debut online on the Ever After High YouTube channel and the Ever After High website, the TV specials debut on TV, in the USA on Nickelodeon. Until Mid February 2014, the TV specials would be uploaded in three parts on both sites around the time of their TV debut, but it seems this practice possibly ended in November of 2014.
TV specials were released twice a year, in the first three months and in the final three months, following the example set by Monster High since 2013. This trend was broken with "Way Too Wonderland", which had an August air date. As with the webisodes, the animation is provided by Guru Studio.
Unlike the webisodes, each of the TV specials specifically ties in with one or more doll lines, of which at least the first wave generally is released a few months prior to the respective TV special.
Since "Spring Unsprung", the Ever After High cartoon and TV specials are co-produced by Mattel Playground Studios and Netflix."
The final TV special was "Epic Winter", which aired on August 5, 2016.
