Animation](https://www.edgepedia.org/warner-bros-animation) in which the cat-and-mouse duo Tom and Jerry live at the Royal Gate Hotel in New York City, with Tom as the hotel's resident mouser and Jerry as the up-to-no-good resident mouse. The series premiered on [HBO Max](https://www.edgepedia.org/hbo-max) on July 1, 2021, and ran for two seasons, both released in 2021.[1](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/tom_and_jerry_in_new_york) • [2](https://www.hulu.com/series/tom-jerry-in-new-york-b798333e-5692-407b-aef1-1778847c2dfe) • [3](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/55833/tom-and-jerry-in-new-york)\n\n| Key fact | Detail |\n|---|---|\n| Premiere | July 1, 2021, on HBO Max[1](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/tom_and_jerry_in_new_york) |\n| Production | Warner Bros. Animation; director Darrell Van Citters; executive producer Sam Register[1](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/tom_and_jerry_in_new_york) |\n| Setting | The 5-star Royal Gate Hotel in New York City, with chases extending to landmarks, subways, and back alleys[2](https://www.hulu.com/series/tom-jerry-in-new-york-b798333e-5692-407b-aef1-1778847c2dfe) |\n| Seasons | Two, both in 2021; season 2 premiered November 18, 2021[3](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/55833/tom-and-jerry-in-new-york) |\n| Format | Shorts focused on chases rather than a larger story arc; TVmaze lists an average runtime of 5 minutes, while JustWatch lists 13 minutes per listing[4](https://www.commonsensemedia.org/tv-reviews/tom-and-jerry-in-new-york) • [3](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/55833/tom-and-jerry-in-new-york) • [5](https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/tom-and-jerry-in-new-york) |\n| Rating | TV-PG; IMDb rating 6.9/10 from 507 user ratings[1](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/tom_and_jerry_in_new_york) • [6](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14833766/ratings/) |\n| Status | Ended[3](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/55833/tom-and-jerry-in-new-york) |\n\n## Spoilers\n\n### Premise and format\n\nThe series places Tom and Jerry in the same setting as the 2021 hybrid *Tom & Jerry* film: the Royal Gate Hotel, a high-end New York hotel where Tom works as head mouser and Jerry provokes him into chaos.[2](https://www.hulu.com/series/tom-jerry-in-new-york-b798333e-5692-407b-aef1-1778847c2dfe) • [4](https://www.commonsensemedia.org/tv-reviews/tom-and-jerry-in-new-york) Unlike the film, the series consists of shorts centered on chase scenes rather than a larger story arc.[4](https://www.commonsensemedia.org/tv-reviews/tom-and-jerry-in-new-york)\n\nEpisodes send the duo beyond the hotel into the city. Common Sense Media's summary describes hijinks involving a visit to the zoo, mayhem in [Central Park](https://www.edgepedia.org/central-park), stolen and earned bagels with lox, and street-vendor hot dogs; individual segments include Tom chasing Jerry through surreal billboards, a musical surf-off at the [Jersey Shore](https://www.edgepedia.org/jersey-shore), and a Kabuki actor finding the pair in his luggage after returning to Japan.[4](https://www.commonsensemedia.org/tv-reviews/tom-and-jerry-in-new-york) • [7](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/tom_and_jerry_in_new_york/s01) • [8](https://thetvdb.com/series/tom-and-jerry-in-new-york/allseasons/official) The final episode listed by TVmaze, \"Flamingo A-Go-Go\" (2x24), aired November 18, 2021, with a flock of flamingoes at the zoo protecting Jerry and Tuffy from Tom.[3](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/55833/tom-and-jerry-in-new-york)\n\nEpisode counts differ between databases. TVmaze lists 24 episodes ordered, while [JustWatch](https://www.edgepedia.org/justwatch) lists Season 1 with 28 episodes and Season 2 with 24.[3](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/55833/tom-and-jerry-in-new-york) • [5](https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/tom-and-jerry-in-new-york) Runtime listings also differ: TVmaze gives an average runtime of 5 minutes, and JustWatch lists 13 minutes.[3](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/55833/tom-and-jerry-in-new-york) • [5](https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/tom-and-jerry-in-new-york)\n\n## Cast and music\n\nThe voice cast includes Joey D'Auria as Butch, Marieve Herington as Molly, Rick Zieff as Spike, Rachael MacFarlane as Toots, and Stephen Stanton as the [Concierge](https://www.edgepedia.org/concierge).[1](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/tom_and_jerry_in_new_york) JustWatch additionally credits [Kath Soucie](https://www.edgepedia.org/kath-soucie) as Tuffy, Sam Kwasman as Little Quacker, and [Laraine Newman](https://www.edgepedia.org/laraine-newman) as Rosie and Mom.[5](https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/tom-and-jerry-in-new-york)\n\nMusic is a stated feature of the show: Hulu's description says the characters are \"accompanied by a selection of original songs\" as they show off their footwork.[2](https://www.hulu.com/series/tom-jerry-in-new-york-b798333e-5692-407b-aef1-1778847c2dfe) In a promotional interview, Keith Baxter, described as a director, songwriter, and story artist, and Greg Sims, a composer, arranger, orchestrator, and producer of music for film and television, discussed the music for the series.[9](https://mulderville.net/en/events/1699/tom-and-jerry-in-new-york-let-s-talk-with-keith-baxter-and-greg-sims)\n\n## Release and availability\n\nBoth seasons arrived on HBO Max in 2021, with season 1 in July and season 2 on November 18.[1](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/tom_and_jerry_in_new_york) • [3](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/55833/tom-and-jerry-in-new-york) In Canada, Corus Entertainment picked up the series alongside *Jellystone* as part of its specialty-channel acquisitions.[10](https://assets.corusent.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Upfront-2021-Specialty-Acquisition-Release-FINAL.pdf) The series later remained available through HBO Max and its Amazon Channel, with digital purchase on Apple TV Store, Fandango At Home, and Amazon Video.[5](https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/tom-and-jerry-in-new-york)\n\n## Reception\n\nProfessional reception was limited but negative. Common Sense Media's reviewer Joly Herman rated the show 2 out of 5, writing that \"overstimulation is the name of the game\" and that kids might get bored watching the same gags repeated; the review called the series a \"slapped-together slapstick cartoon\" that recycles violent gags and wastes the New York setting.[7](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/tom_and_jerry_in_new_york/s01) • [4](https://www.commonsensemedia.org/tv-reviews/tom-and-jerry-in-new-york) The same review noted that the series steers clear of the racial stereotypes present in some older Tom and Jerry cartoons while doing little to tone down slapstick violence.[11](https://www.pluggedin.com/tv-reviews/tom-and-jerry-in-new-york/) Audience ratings were more favorable: IMDb users gave the series 6.9 out of 10 across 507 ratings.[6](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14833766/ratings/)\n\n## References\n\n1.
