Independent UK production company, Nevision has struck an agreement with Nick Jr. Too in the UK for its hit animated series Floogals. The Viacom-owned preschool channel will air the first 52 x 11’ episodes of Floogals from December 2018. The series is co-produced by Nevision, Zodiak Kids Studios and Universal Kids with UK animation studio Jellyfish Pictures.
Currently in production on a third season for co-production partner Universal Kids, NBC Universal and commissioned by Channel 5’s Milkshake!, Floogals is a mix of photo-real CGI and live action.
In the UK, Floogals is in the Top 5 shows for the Milkshake! block and has also reached a total of 8.1 million viewers since its launch in July 2017. VIMN Kids programming VP Louise Bucknole said, “We are delighted to be introducing the adventurous and curious world of Floogals to the Nick Jr. Too audience.”
The series finds pocket-sized alien adventurers- Fleeker, Flo and Boomer, on a mission to observe, experience and detail the new and exciting world around them – Planet Earth! Arriving in their spaceship with a bump from the distant planet Floog, the Floogals are on a mission to document everything around them in the peculiar world of ‘hoomans’. Whilst trying to keep their presence a secret, the innately inquisitive Floogals discover the wonders of our big, exciting and sometimes baffling world as we see it from their tiny perspective – four inches off the ground!
Nevision executive producer and director Nigel Pickard added: “Floogals goes from strength to strength on both sides of the Atlantic, continuing to be a top-rated show for both Universal Kids and Milkshake! We are excited that Nick Jr.Too has picked up the show which will introduce the Floogals to a whole new audience across the UK.”
Floogals has proven to be a huge success globally. Zodiak Kids has sold the series to multiple territories including: ABC Australia, Canal Plus (France); Cartoonito and DeAJunior (Italy); Discovery Kids (Latin America); TVO and Knowledge Network (Canada); Hop! Channel (Israel); Mediacorp (Singapore); Thai PBS (Thailand); Spectrum Film (Indonesia); YLE (Finland); Canal Panda (Portugal); MBC (Middle East), Discovery (Asia) and RT (Hong Kong).
