The Croods: Family Tree
A family learns to coexist after a sequel.
The Croods: Family Tree is an American CGI-animated television series from DreamWorks Animation Television. It follows the 2013 film *The Croods* and continues the story from the 2020 sequel *The Croods: A New Age*. The show debuted on September 23, 2021, and its eighth and final season came out on November 9, 2023. After the events of the sequel, the Crood and Betterman families must coexist in the Betterman treehouse. The voice cast includes Ally Dixon as Eep Crood, Kelly Marie Tran (seasons 1–4) and Abby Trott (seasons 5–8) as Dawn Betterman, Kiff VandenHeuvel as Grug Crood and Lighting Bolt (season 4), Darin Brooks as Guy, A.J.

Tran and LoCascio did not reprise their roles from *Dawn of the Croods*—Tran did not voice Dawn in that series, and LoCascio voiced Thunk in *Dawn of the Croods*, not the films—while the rest of the cast was new. Mark Banker and Todd Grimes served as executive producers and showrunners. The animation was handled by Mikros Animation under Technicolor Animation Productions. From season 5 onward, Abby Trott replaced Tran as Dawn.
