NICK JR. UK SETS LAUNCH FOR TIM REX IN SPACE, BRAND-NEW ANIMATED PRESCHOOL SERIES, ON MONDAY SEPTEMBER 8
Project Marks Nickelodeon's First-Ever Global Co-Production with Channel 5’s Milkshake!
Preschoolers will set off on epic intergalactic adventures, as Nickelodeon UK & Ireland readies brand-new animated preschool series, Tim Rex in Space, for launch on Monday 8th September 2025 on Nick Jr. UK & Ireland. Marking the brand’s first global co-production with Channel 5’s Milkshake!, episodes of Tim Rex in Space will premiere weekdays at 5:30pm on the Nick Jr. channel. This will mark the show's pay-TV premiere in the U.K. & Eire.
To celebrate the debut of their brand new show, Nick Jr. UK has pre-released the first episode of Tim Rex in Space on YouTube, featuring three stories - Shooting Star, Ball, and Balloon! In 'Shooting Star' Tim, Tommy, Tia and Dad get stuck on a remote asteroid. In 'Ball' Tim, Kai and Tommy try to get their ball back from Mum's bedroom. In 'Balloon' Tia's new balloon gets stuck in a tree, so Tim tries to get it down.
Tim Rex in Space follows a Tyrannosaurus Rex (T-Rex) named Tim, his big brother Tommy, little sister Tia, and triceratops bestie Kai, as they tackle kid-shaped adventures with dino-sized solutions in space. Tim and his family live in a unique world comprised of a cluster of asteroids that make up the town of Rumbleton--a quintessential 21st century suburban town, with each asteroid hosting family homes, cafés, shops, parks, and even a beach. All asteroids are connected by a network of slides, ziplines and trampolines, but can also easily be reached on a quick rocket ride.
