Ryan's Mystery Playdate is an American live-action children's television series created and produced by the company PocketWatch, Inc. The series is based on the Ryan's World YouTube channel, which signed an advertising deal with PocketWatch in 2017. In the United States, the show's 20 episodes were acquired by Nick Jr. for a premiere date of April 19, 2019.
In an attempt by PocketWatch to match the YouTube channel's style, all of the show's dialogue is improvised, and the only scripted segments are scene transitions and explanations of the challenges.
