Update (5/11): Nick Jr. Too will premiere Floogals on Monday 3rd December 2018, and will air the series at 9:00am, 3:00pm and 7:00pm!
Currently in production on a third season for co-production partner Universal Kids, NBCUniversal and commissioned by Channel 5’s Milkshake!, Floogals is a ground-breaking mix of photo-real CGI, and live action. Fleeker, Flo and Boomer are pocket-sized alien adventurers 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!
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 launching in July 2017.
Louise Bucknole, Vice President (VP) Programming VIMN Kids said “We are delighted to be introducing the adventurous and curious world of Floogals to the Nick Jr. Too audience.”
Nigel Pickard, Executive Producer and Director at Nevision added “Floogals goes from strength to strength on both sides of the Atlantic, continuing to be a top-rated show for both Univeral 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 & 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).
