Plot
The story follows Chuck, Starley, and Finley, three siblings who are abducted from their home and mistakenly enrolled in a prestigious interstellar former military academy. Their ability to endure depends on their collective strength and cooperation as they face numerous trials.
Main
- Chuck (voiced by David Menkin) is the eldest of the trio and serves as their leader. He is a tall male chicken characterized by his boldness and eccentricity but can also be self-centered and obstinate. Despite being the youngest sibling.
- Finley (voiced by Nick Mohammed and Dash Kruck) is the shortest male chicken and the intellectual of the group. Known for his intelligence and curiosity, he generally remains composed but may become irritable if his suggestions are ignored. He is the oldest sibling.
- Starley (voiced by Laura Aikman) is the affectionate middle sister who fiercely defends her brothers and possesses extraordinary physical strength.
Recurring
- Glargg (voiced by Roger Gregg and Damien Garvey) is a green-skinned alien.
- Niven (voiced by Lynette Callaghan) is a female alien with blue skin.
Production
The animation for Space Chickens in Space is entirely produced internally at Studio Moshi in Australia, utilizing their proprietary hybrid Harmony animation system. This approach merges traditional hand-drawn techniques with rigged high-quality animation. Studio Moshi handled key roles including animation direction, character design, world-building, storyboard oversight, digital animation, and visual effects.

The series first aired on 9Go! in Australia on 30 September 2018. It later premiered on Russia’s 2x2 TV Channel on 1 January 2020, followed by its debut on Disney XD throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Africa on 19 November 2018.
