They have produced a wide variety of TV shows from primetime comedies and dramas to documentaries to kids' cartoons. The last category is probably the one they are best known for outside Canada, having been behind such series as ''WesternAnimation/AtomicBetty'' and ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes''. |

| 5 | In 2018, Creator/NineStoryMediaGroup acquired Breakthrough's kids and family library and development slate. This means most of Breakthrough's animated series now belong to 9 Story (the primary exceptions are ''Atomic Betty'' and ''[=KidsWorld=] Sports'', which were instead acquired by ''WesternAnimation/TheRaccoons'' creator Kevin Gillis, who had worked as a producer on many of Breakthrough's cartoons), but Breakthrough still does own a couple that are aimed at adults, such as ''WesternAnimation/CrashCanyon'', ''WesternAnimation/ProducingParker'', and ''WesternAnimation/WhatItsLikeBeingAlone''. |

| 7 | In early 2023, Breakthrough (and its remaining library) was acquired by Shadow Pines Studios, with employees of the former company moving to the latter. The company was then folded after. |
