The series has been bought by TV channels in 192 countries; this show is among the most watched series on CBBC (the children's channel of British broadcaster BBC).[1][2] The cost of €12 million to create the first season was carried for 50% by Flemish companies and the Flemish Government and for 50% by international partners Entertainment One and WarnerMedia (now Warner Bros.

The series is about a delivery service run by three ninjas, Aka, Kiro and Konpeki, who have super powers. The show is produced by Hasbro Entertainment (formerly produced by Entertainment One), Frog Box and Creative Conspiracy.
Ninja Express is shown on CBBC in the UK; Gulli in France;[3] Ketnet in Flanders; and on many international versions of Boomerang (e.g. in Poland,[4] Romania,[5] Germany,[6] Bulgaria[7] and Italy[8]).
