Alpha and Omega is a series of eight animated films released by Crest Animation Productions and distributed by Lionsgate Films. The first film was released in 2010 and featured the voices of Justin Long and Hayden Panettiere, though subsequent movies were direct-to-video and therefore featured a smaller cast, primarily Ben Diskin and Kate Higgins. A television series based on the same name called Alpha and Omega: The Series will premiere on Cartoon Network in 2018, and the directors of the original film, Anthony Bell and Ben Gluck, will produce and create the show, which will take place after events of the movie as well.
