ViacomCBS & Sky Partner for New Preschool Show 'Pip and Posy'

ViacomCBS and Sky announced their first co-production partnership on Wednesday (18th March 2020), teaming up for the CG-animated preschool series Pip and Posy. The show will premiere exclusively on Channel 5’s free-to-air strand Milkshake! and Sky’s on-demand service Sky Kids in the U.K. Multiple Oscar-nominated Magic Light Pictures (The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom, Revolting Rhymes and recent hit The Snail and The Whale) is producing, with animation services provided by Blue Zoo (Digby Dragon, It’s Pony).


Pip and Posy (52 x 7-minute episodes) follows a mouse and a rabbit whose lives revolve around a wonderful world of play. Packed with warmth and humour, the series is a joyful celebration of their great friendship, its laughter and games, its ups and downs. The series deals with emotions, resilience and feelings in a relatable way for preschoolers to learn about themselves, all centred on creative play from a child’s point of view.

Currently in production, the series is based on characters from Nosy Crow’s popular collection of story books by multi award-winning illustrator Axel Scheffler and author Camilla Reid. Pip and Posy is Magic Light’s first ever preschool series and sees the continuation of the production company’s 13 year association with Scheffler, which has produced seven high-profile animated specials based on his hugely successful book collaborations with author Julia Donaldson.

Pip and Posy will premiere on Milkshake! and be available on demand on Sky Kids in early 2021. It will then also air on Nick Jr. a year later.

Pip and Posy is a delightful animation series that captures the essence of how young children play, think and feel, and fits perfectly with our portfolio of educational and fun programming. The series teaches preschoolers the importance of friendship and societal wellbeing through imaginative storytelling and creative play,” said Louise Bucknole, Vice President (VP) Programming Kids, ViacomCBS Networks U.K. “We have a long-running and close relationship with Sky, so it’s very exciting to have commissioned our first co-production together, enabling us to bring the very best of British animation to Milkshake! from world class producers Magic Light Pictures.”

Lucy Murphy, Director of Kids at Sky U.K. & Ireland, said, “Pip and Posy is a playful series that will be loved by young children and their families. This addition to Sky Kids, plus our recent raft of original commissions, demonstrates our ambition to feature a range of premium British programming for under-twelves. We bring our customers the very best kids TV alongside our partner channels and this co-production with Milkshake! evolves our close relationship with ViacomCBS.”

“We’re really excited to be producing our first-ever preschool series and proud to be working with Milkshake! and Sky,” said Michael Rose, co-founder of Magic Light Pictures. “Axel Scheffler creates truly enchanting worlds and we can’t wait for viewers to join Pip and Posy for their fun and adventures.”

Pip and Posy has been jointly commissioned by Bucknole for Milkshake! and Murphy for Sky Kids with the participation of ZDF, Germany. The series is executive produced by Michael Rose and Martin Pope and produced by Vici King for Magic Light Pictures. The showrunner at Magic Light is Jeroen Jaspaert (Stick Man, The Highway Rat) and Blue Zoo’s director is Matthew Tea.

Magic Light Pictures holds the global distribution and merchandising rights to Pip and Posy (excluding publishing) and is developing a full licensing program to complement the new series.

Last year, Milkshake! pledged to double its content investment, which will lead to 50 new U.K.-originated hours per year from 2021.

Sky Kids offers families 11 kids’ channels and over 5,000 episodes of on-demand viewing as well as the Sky Kids app, a safe space for younger kids focused content, games and art tools with parental controls including a sleep mode so parents can moderate screen time. This is complemented by the pin protected Safe Mode on Sky Q, so there’s no danger of children straying into any areas of content that are not right for them.

YTV Canada to Premiere 'Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan' on Friday, April 3, 2020

YTV Sets Premiere Date for Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan
Brand-new Live-action Series Debuts Friday, April 3 at 6:30pm (ET/PT)

Share it: @YTV #YoungDylan


Canada - Kid rapper and pint-sized powerhouse Young Dylan will join the YTV family with the premiere of Nickelodeon's brand-new live-action series, Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan, on Friday, April 3, 2020 at 6:30pm (ET/PT). Executive produced, directed and written by Perry, the series follows a family whose world is turned upside down when their nephew, Young Dylan (Dylan Gilmer), an aspiring hip-hop star, moves in unannounced. Michelle Sneed is also an executive producer, with Will Areu and Mark E. Swinton serving as producers. The series wrapped its first season on Sunday, March 15, 2020 at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta, Ga.

In Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan, Dylan’s grandmother Viola (Aloma Wright) realizes that raising her grandson is too much to take on, so she decides to send him to live indefinitely with her affluent son Myles Wilson (Carl Anthony Payne II), his wife Yasmine (Mieko Hillman) and their two kids Rebecca (Celina Smith) and Charlie (Hero Hunter). Suddenly, the Wilson family household needs to adapt as lifestyles clash between rising hip-hop star Young Dylan and his straight-laced cousins. From Dylan giving Charlie, Rebecca, and her best friend Bethany (Jet Miller), lessons in “swag” and street smarts, to learning that even rappers have rules in the Wilson house, the series follows the hilarious hijinks this family faces as they try to get on the same beat.


Nickelodeon’s partnership with Perry is part of his long-term pact with ViacomCBS, producing original series for BET Networks (The Oval and Sistas) and other ViacomCBS networks, with exclusive licensing rights on this programming. Additionally, Perry recently announced his joint venture with BET Networks for the new streaming video on demand service BET+. Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan marks Perry’s first kids’ scripted series.

Born and raised in Annapolis, Md., Gilmer is known for his many appearances and performances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and at NBA All-Star Weekend. He will next appear at Nickelodeon SlimeFest, a two-day family-friendly music festival on Saturday, March 21, and Sunday, March 22, at the Forum in Inglewood, Calif. Gilmer has an overall talent deal with Telepictures, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Television, and has previously guest starred on the revival of Nickelodeon’s hit series All That.

Gilmer is represented by Sherry Kayne of The Green Room and Chris Abramson at Felker Toczek Suddleson Abramson.

The production of Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan for Nickelodeon is overseen by Shauna Phelan, Senior Vice President, Live-Action Scripted Content. Brian Banks serves as Nickelodeon’s Executive in Charge of Production for the series.

Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan underscores a key element of Nickelodeon's content strategy, to mine social platforms for the talent that kids love. Nick's new content slate is informed by the network's ongoing research and insights into today's generation of kids, who: are the most diverse generation ever and expect to see themselves authentically represented in media and in the world around them; want to make a positive difference in the world as they grow up; consider social media stars as their top role models, alongside their parents; and increasingly meet their much-desired need for family time by co-viewing entertainment content together.

Online at ytv.com, fans can find out more about Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan. Fans can also follow YTV on Instagram and subscribe to the YTV YouTube channel for the latest YTV news, highlights, schedules, videos and games.

Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan made its world debut on Nickelodeon in the U.S. on Saturday, February 29, 2020.

'Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan' Season 1 Wraps Production

It’s a wrap for the cast and crew of Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan season one!


The star of Nickelodeon's new hit comedy series, Dylan Gilmer, showed a sneak peek of the wrap party to celebrate the finale on his Instagram page on Sunday, March 15, 2020.

Update (3/17) - It appears that Nickelodeon decided to wrap Young Dylan a bit early than planned due to the COVID-19 (aka coronavirus) outbreak. Young Dylan was picked up for an initially 14 episode run. It's currently unclear how many episodes were filmed before production wrapped - and if production will resume once it's safe to do so.

It's currently unknown whether COVID-19 is also currently affecting other Nickelodeon productions.


And it looks like Young Dylan, which is filmed at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, kicked off to great start with its first episode.

The February launch of the Nickelodeon sitcom was the network’s biggest in three years, reaching more than 2.6 million total viewers across six airings over the show's premiere weekend.

“Thank you army!!!! I so appreciate all of this love and support!! God bless you. Thank you for making these kids stars!! Young Dylan on @Nickelodeon every Saturday at 8:30/7:30c!!! #YoungDylan,” Perry wrote in an Instagram post.

Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan is Perry's first kid-scripted series for Nickelodeon. The series follows a family whose world is turned upside down when their nephew, Young Dylan, played by Gilmer, an aspiring hip-hop star, moves in unannounced.

Dylan’s grandmother Viola is played by actress Aloma Wright.

During the first episode that aired on Saturday, February 29, 2020, she realizes that raising her grandson is too much to take on, so she decides to send him to live indefinitely with her affluent son Myles Wilson (Carl Anthony Payne II), his wife Yasmine (Mieko Hillman), their two kids Rebecca (Celina Smith) and Charlie (Hero Hunter). The series also stars Jet Miller as Rebecca's best friend, Bethany.

The Wilson family household needs to adapt as lifestyles clash between rising hip-hop star Young Dylan and his straight-laced cousins.

The family’s transition together is comedic and reminisces other African-American sitcoms like Family Matters and The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air.

It's currently unknown whether Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan will be renewed for a season two.

Tyler Perry puts all projects on hold: 'This Too Shall Pass'

Perry has shutdown all production on his original programming for films and TV shows for networks like the Oprah Winfrey Network and BET.

ATLANTA — The impact of the coronavirus pandemic has swept through Georgia’s film and television industry.

Major productions from Netflix, Disney, and MGM Studios have postponed blockbuster projects in the making because of the widespread measures being used to fight the virus.

Atlanta entertainment titan Tyler Perry has shut down all production on his original programming for films and TV shows for networks including the Oprah Winfrey Network, Nickelodeon and BET. A rep from his studio tells 11Alive’s The A-Scene that Perry has placed all of those projects on hold.

Other productions that lease out space at Tyler Perry Studios have chosen to stop production as well. In the past year, Perry facilitated box office chart-toppers like “Bad Boys For Life,” “First Man,” and hit shows like MTV’s “Wild N Out” at the state-of-the-art production space.

The “A Fall From Grace” director went to social media on Tuesday to share his thoughts on the state of culture, and his own personal space. Perry shared a screenshot of the cover to Grammy-award winning singer Yolanda Adam’s “This Too Shall Pass.”

“Been listening to this song over and over to encourage myself, to stay positive, and to remember that this is all in God’s hands and that this too shall pass. But until then, we’ve got to take it seriously,” Perry wrote.

The extensive message revealed Perry’s thoughts on the personal lessons that social distancing will impact on society.

“I would love to see a lot more prayer and a lot less panic. A lot less finger-pointing and a lot less judgment. What I would love to see is us being one nation, under God, INDIVISIBLE!! Please listen to your local and state governments. Social distancing should be taken seriously,” Perry wrote.

In honor of the song, the Madea star then asked the public that believe in prayers to do so.

“And most of all, for those of us who do pray, let’s send up some strong and solid fasting and prayers for this nation, our world, and all of those affected by this, which is ALL OF US!! This too shall pass,” Perry wrote.

To celebrate the upcoming new show, Just Jared Jr. is bringing us a behind-the-scenes first look at the classroom set from the new Henry Danger spinoff.

In the photos, you can see all the different areas, including the work stations and the Hip Hop Purée cafe plus the Man’s Nest as well.

In Danger Force, four kids – Chapa (Havan Flores), Miles (Terrence Little Gardenhigh), Mika (Dana Heath) and Bose (Luca Luhan) – are recruited to attend Swellview Academy for the Gifted (SW.A.G. for short), a school conceived by Captain Man (Cooper Barnes) and brought to life by Schwoz (Michael D. Cohen), after having been accidentally mutated in the fight to save Swellview.

While there, the kids must learn to harness their frequently troublesome and sometimes uncontrollable superpowers as they begin to fight crime. Despite the dangerous circumstances of their new lives, the superheroes must keep their real identities a secret from both from their families and the villains who are out to destroy them.

The four new superheroes will be introduced in the Henry Danger series finale THIS Saturday (March 21) at 8:00 p.m. (ET/PT), and Danger Force will premiere NEXT Saturday (March 28) at 8:00 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon USA!

We Are Teachers Partners with Nickelodeon and Rainforest Alliance for Rainforest Animal Flipbook, Learning Resources

We Are Teachers has teamed up with their friends at Nickelodeon and Rainforest Alliance to create a brand new fun and interactive Rainforest Animal Flipbook! This flipbook showcases the different levels of the rainforest and (best of all!) the interesting animals that live there.


Teaching about the rainforest always turns out to be one of the highlights of the school year. Students are especially fascinated by learning about all of the interesting animals, plants and ecosystems.

Students will love creating, customizing and exploring through their very own flipbook. Each page represents a layer of the rainforest (emergent layer, canopy layer, understory layer, and forest floor) and features interesting tidbits about the animals and plants native to each habitat.

What’s Inside?

In addition to the flipbook (which doubles as a coloring book!), the download includes a teacher guide as well as a student activity pack with engaging worksheets. These extended lessons will help students dig even deeper learning about the rainforest.

Watch students’ eyes get wide when they learn fun facts such as; The Goliath Birdeater Tarantula is the size of a dinner plate with its legs spread out? 😲 And yes… it earned its name because it’s so big that it can eat birds. (Cue the classroom gasp!)

Plus! A Limited-Time Offer From Nickelodeon!

Not only is this Rainforest Animal Flipbook free, but Nickelodeon are also offering classroom kits to 50 teachers who fill out this form and request the kit. The classroom kits include printed flipbooks and classroom supplies such as markers, crayons, scissors and more. Classroom kits will be prioritized by school needs and the date of request.

So don’t be a sloth! Hurry and request your free kit today at https://www.weareteachers.com/rainforest-animal-flipbook!


Teachers can also visit weareteachers.com to find classroom resources for teaching about rainforest animal habitats in grades K-5, including recommended books, activities, facts, easy tips and tricks on how kids can help save rainforests and how to talk to children about climate change, and much more. Teachers are also invited to sign up to be the first to know about more exciting Nick Help activities.

The partnership is part of Nickelodeon's Nick Help initiative. Nick Helps YOU help! Throughout the year, Nick Helps connects you with projects, ideas, and organizations that will help teachers and their students be champions for good.

To ease the strain in this challenging time, beginning Monday, March 16, Charter commits to the following for 60 days:

  • Charter will offer free Spectrum broadband and Wi-Fi access for 60 days to households with K-12 and/or college students who do not already have a Spectrum broadband subscription at any service level up to 100 Mbps. To enroll call 1-844-488-8395. Installation fees will be waived for new student households.

ViacomCBS Australia Temporarily Closes Darlinghurst Office in Sydney Over Coronavirus Fears

ViacomCBS Australia and New Zealand has sent staff at its Darlinghurst office in Sydney home due to fears that people in their office may have been exposed to the coronavirus, following an employee’s potential exposure to the coronavirus. ViacomCBS' Darlinghurst office houses networks such as Nickelodeon and MTV. Sources have told The Australian Financial Review the decisions were made on Thursday 5th March 2020.


Network Ten in Pyrmont, which is owned by ViacomCBS following the merger of CBS and Viacom in December, has not been affected.

Both OMD and Foxtel Media offices closed late last week, reopening earlier this week in as a precautionary measure after exposure to a suspected case of coronavirus. Testing came back as negative and staff at both companies are back in the offices. The London office of OMD was also shut but has since reopened.

A ViacomCBS Networks Australia spokesman said the company has been informed about a possible exposure to the virus.

"This individual has not been diagnosed with the virus and is currently seeking medical advice," he said.

"The safety and well-being of staff is the company’s number one priority. Therefore, as a pre-caution, ViacomCBS has temporarily closed its Darlinghurst office and instructed all employees to work remotely until further information is available."

Update (18/3) - From AdNews:

ViacomCBS' tools and tips for working at home in Covid-19 lockdown

As the industry directs staff to work at home, keeping remote teams connected, cohesive and motivated is crucial.

One of the first to order work from home, ViacomCBS' office in Sydney's Darlinghurst - the base for about 120 employees working across the MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central and Spike businesses - launched tools and policies to keep its remote workforce ticking.

"We utilised Microsoft Teams across MTV, Nickelodeon, Shared Services and management for video conferencing and messaging and we're piloting remote editing platforms to ensure content production work flows are not interrupted," a spokesperson says.

"All Monday morning stand up meetings shifted to video up format.

"Best practice guidelines were shared with all staff, they were upskilled on the use of video conferencing platforms and provided with 24/7 tech support.

"We encouraged all team members to utilise the `availability' function to set working hours (and, so, avoid being always ‘on’).

"There was a daily 9 am check in among sales team members – to set the agenda for the day, co-ordinate activity and actions, as well as create a sense of normalcy by starting the day seeing each other’s faces.

A dedicated COVID-19 resource portal is available on intranet, that includes tips and check lists for working remotely, resources on managing stress and anxiety, and updated health information.

"We also took our regular wellness sessions offered to staff virtual, working with vendors to provide video-based exercise, mindfulness and meditation classes.

"And we exploring ways to convert the regular Friday afternoon drinks trolley and raffle in to a virtual experience!"

"As a result of these measures, all linear television channels and digital and social platforms programmed out of the office are fully operational and have continued operation without interruption.

"Clients serviced by teams based in Darlinghurst include advertisers, distribution partners, music labels, production partners, promoters, licensees, retailers, and more."

Says Ben Richardson, SVP/GM of Pay Networks, ViacomCBS Networks Australia and New Zealand: “Staying focused on keeping staff healthy and safe is our number one priority, and we’ve seen remarkable adaptability by our team in response to shifting to a remote working environment.

"Staff have embraced the platforms we are providing to maintain productivity and keep a ‘business as usual’ approach, which is encouraging.”

Construction Restarts on the Construction of the World’s Largest Nickelodeon Indoor Theme Park in China

Plans have been approved for the construction of the third and fourth phases to commence for the Mall of China in the city of Chongqing, China!


Following inspection in accordance to the COVID-19 prevention requirements, the building of the Mall of China has finally been given the green light to commence once more.

The site is located in Konggang East Road, in the Yubei District of Chongqing City, China. The Nickelodeon indoor theme park is a mega-scale entertainment complex project, which integrates themed attractions, cinemas and catering facilities, covering an area of 108,500 sq. mt.

First announced in July 2018, the new Nickelodeon indoor theme park will occupy about 28,000 square meters (equivalent in size to nearly four football fields) in the center of the 468,000 square meters Mall of China (MOC) complex in Chongqing. The developers will invest over US$750 million in The Mall of China, which is part of a 2000 mu (about 1.34 square kilometers) mixed-use development, expected to also include a residential enclave of about 40,000 residential units, an international K-12 school and an international hospital. The total area will cost over US$4.2 billion to develop.

When completed, the park will be the largest Nickelodeon indoor theme park in the world.

“Creating immersive on-the-ground consumer experiences remains an important part of our business. As we continue to grow the footprint of Nickelodeon theme parks, I am confident this will also open up new opportunities for the Nickelodeon brand and for our partners across multiple platforms in this important Chinese market,” said Mark Whitehead, then President and Managing Director, Asia Pacific, Viacom International Media Networks. Whitehead has since left the company.

The park will showcase 14 of Nickelodeon’s most iconic properties like PAW Patrol, SpongeBob SquarePants, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Dora the Explorer across 29 Nickelodeon-themed attractions, of which the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles launch coaster is anticipated to hold four world records for an indoor roller coaster ride – the longest track, the highest drop, the most number of inversions and the fastest maximum speed. It will also feature the first tilting drop tower attraction in Asia.

“We are thrilled to be collaborating with Jiayuan Group, China Creation Group and Triple Five to open Nickelodeon’s first indoor theme park in Asia as we continue to expand on our location based experiences across the world,” said Gerald Raines, Senior Vice President, Location Based Experiences for ViacomCBS Networks International (VCNI). “This is testament to the power of Nickelodeon and our iconic characters that fans, kids and families have come to love, which in turn, enables our ability to further boost the Nickelodeon entertainment experience for them.”

Work restarts on Nickelodeon's giant indoor theme park in China

Work has restarted on the Nickelodeon theme park, with developers given the green light to start work again on the US$750m (£647m, €688m) Mall of China development.

Work was suspended as a result of the coronavirus, however, plans for the construction of the third and fourth phases to resume were approved following an inspection ensuring COVID-19 prevention requirements were met.

Located in the Yubei District of Chongqing City, the Mall of China is being developed by Jiayuan Group, China Creation Group and Triple Five Group. Once completed it will be home to the world's largest Nickelodeon Indoor Theme Park, after developers announced a partnership with Nickelodeon owner, Viacom International Media Networks Asia Pacific, in 2018.

The 92,000sq ft (8,500sq m) park will feature 14 Nickelodeon IPs including Dora the Explorer, Sponge Bob Square Pants, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Paw Patrol, and will feature 29 attractions, including Asia's first tilting drop tower attraction and an indoor coaster. Themed around the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the ride will break four world records for indoor coasters, including highest drop, most inversions, longest track and fastest maximum speed.

The park was originally slated for a December 2020 opening, however, will most likely be delayed due to the disruption in construction.

"Nickelodeon's wide recognition in China will be instrumental to the success of the Mall of China in attracting families of all ages from across the country to dine, shop and play at our project," said Linda Dong, president of China Creation.

"Our partnership with Nickelodeon is also a key component to our ability to deliver a world-class theme park product to compete in this fast-growing industry."
