Nickelodeon Signs British Pop Culture Icon Mr Blobby to Overall Talent Deal

NICKELODEON SIGNS BRITISH POP CULTURE ICON MR BLOBBY TO OVERALL TALENT DEAL

New Partnership Will See Nickelodeon Introduce Mr Blobby to Audiences Around the World

Mr Blobby

BURBANK, Calif.--April 1, 2026--Nickelodeon is set to introduce Mr Blobby to viewers worldwide as the number-one brand for kids and families announces today that it has signed the British comedy icon to an overall talent deal. Under the arrangement, Nickelodeon will have the opportunity to work with Mr Blobby on a multi-platform basis including in consumer products, original programming, social media, live events and music.

Mr Blobby was first introduced to audiences in Britain in 1992 as part of the BBC's Noel's House Party, soon becoming a legend in his own right. As Blobbyfever swept the nation, the pink-with-yellow-spotted character climbed the charts with his self-titled 1993 single, which was crowned the prestigious title of Christmas No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart that year. As Blobbyfever continued, the beloved character launched his own line of consumer products, spanning VHS releases, video games, egg cups, beverages and more, and even opened his own theme parks. The character has since become a TV staple in the U.K., appearing in cameos on TV programs such as Harry Hill's TV Burp, Dead Ringers, Get Your Own Back with Dave Benson PhillipsDick and Dom in da Bungalow, and Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway. He also appeared on The Last Leg, where he was declared as leader of "The 90s Party", a political party formed by the show's hosts.


As part of his comprehensive partnership with Nickelodeon, Mr Blobby will star in a raft on shortform and longform content for Nickelodeon's linear and digital channels. The first two projects announced under the partnership are: Blobbyvision, a hidden-camera prank show in production at Paramount Television Studios in which the titular character will prank celebrities and members of the public in truly bizarre ways that only Mr. Blobby can; and The Adventures of Mr Blobby, a 2D-animated preschool series produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studios that will also introduce viewers to his family - his wife, Mrs Blobby, and son, Baby Blobby - as they have daily adventures around Crinkley Bottom. A short-form game show, Gunge Attack (w/t), is also currently in development at Nickelodeon Digital Studio, which will see Mr Blobby immerse contestants in slime. All programming will be distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution, and will air on Nickelodeon channels globally.

Nickelodeon is also in development of an exclusive line of consumer products inspired by the popular character, and the network is in the process of securing major merchandising and promotional partners in a broad range of categories including apparel, home furnishings, toys, accessories, publishing and more.

Commenting on the partnership from his home of Dunblobbin, Mr Blobby said: "Blobby blobby, blobby. Blobbity blob blobby blobby-blobby. Blobby!"

Who is the creative team behind XO, Kitty Season 3?

As most XO, Kitty fans know, the series is a spin-off inspired by the popular To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before film franchise, which was based on creator and executive producer Jenny Han’s novels of the same name. For Season 3, Valentina Garza will serve as showrunner, executive producer, and writer. Executive producers also include Matt Kaplan of ACE Entertainment and Bradley Gardner.

From Netflix's TUDUM:

Lana Condor Enrolls in XO, Kitty Season 3

The To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before star is reuniting with onscreen sister Anna Cathcart in the series.

It’s a family reunion on XO, Kitty Season 3, out April 2: Lana Condor, who played lovelorn high schooler Lara Jean Covey in the To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before movies, is headed to the spin-off series starring Anna Cathcart as LJ’s matchmaking younger sister, Kitty Song Covey.

“It’s such a joy to be able to come back and see Anna,” Condor tells Netflix of her return to the franchise. “I think she did an amazing job creating the XO, Kitty world. It’s such a dream to be able to work with her again. I feel really excited and happy and honored I get to be back.”

In addition to the new photos of LJ’s return to Korea, you can watch the Covey sisters in action in the trailer for Season 3, below. It’s senior year at KISS, and Kitty wants to make the most of it. But when things get difficult and confusing, Kitty calls up her sibling for some sisterly advice. “We have to follow our hearts and trust that it will lead us to our next great adventure,” LJ tells her. 

Season 3 of XO, Kitty sees Kitty Song Covey return for her senior year at KISS with the perfect year mapped out: She’s going to make meaningful memories with her friends, grow closer to her relatives in Korea, and make big decisions about her future. And she’s going to define her relationship with Min Ho. For real this time. But when surprise revelations throw her plans — and relationships — off course, Kitty will have to learn to embrace the unexpected.

Two women sitting outdoors on blue director’s chairs labeled for the cast of XO, Kitty Season 3, with greenery, brick wall, and a large window in the background, both looking back over their shoulders at the camera.

Previous seasons of the series have featured other To All the Boys stars, including Noah Centineo as LJ’s devoted boyfriend, Peter Kavinsky, and Janel Parrish as oldest Covey sister Margot in Season 2; and John Corbett and Sarayu Blue as Kitty’s dad and stepmother in Season 1. Condor will appear in multiple episodes.

XO, Kitty Season 3 premieres April 2 on Netflix.

XO, Kitty Season 3 Trailer: Check Off Kitty’s Senior Sunset List

Kitty Song Covey (Anna Cathcart) has her whole senior year at KISS mapped out in the trailer for XO, Kitty Season 3. 

Coming April 2, the season follows Kitty as she endeavors to check everything off her Senior Sunset list with the help of her pals Min Ho (Sang Heon Lee), Dae (Minyeong Choi), Yuri (Gia Kim), and Q (Anthony Keyvan), of course.

She needs to figure out where she wants to apply to college, have a traditional Chuseok meal with her Korean family, and, most pressingly, define the simmering feelings she and Min Ho have been harboring for years.

Like any little sister would in a time of crisis, Kitty calls her big sis Lara Jean (Lana Condor), who we all remember fondly as the star of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. “Whatever happens with Min Ho, we can’t just stop living our lives,” LJ reminds her baby sis in the trailer. “We have to follow our hearts and trust that it will lead us to our next great adventure.”

Keep up with all the adventures in the new season of XO, Kitty, premiering April 2 on Netflix.

XO, Kitty Season 3: Set Sail Early with the First 2 Minutes of the Premiere

You don’t have to “wait!” any longer to see what’s next for Kitty and Min Ho.

Kitty Song Covey (Anna Cathcart) and Min Ho (Sang Heon Lee) end XO, Kitty Season 2 on the precipice of adventure. After a season of grand gestures and loaded glances, Kitty decides it might just be time for her and her enemy-turned-friend-turned-crush to finally be together. “Wait! Can I join you?” she asks, eliciting a mysterious head nod from Min Ho. 

Is he inviting her along on his family’s upcoming pop-star world tour? Is that the latest dance move taking over KISS? Or does Min Ho simply need to stretch his neck? 

Well, the answer is finally here, ahead of the XO, Kitty Season 3 premiere on April 2. The first two minutes of the upcoming episode — which you can watch above — reveal the immediate aftermath of Kitty’s question. Series showrunner Valentina Garza knows you’ve been waiting to find out what’s next for your favorite will they, won’t they duo at the Korean Independent School of Seoul. 

“We thought it was important to come back and hear what Min Ho has to say and let that lead us into this next adventure in Season 3,” Garza tells Tudum. “This season is very much about Kitty learning that life rarely goes as planned — that sometimes you just have to let go of expectations and let life surprise you.” 

The clip reveals that Kitty and Min Ho’s conversation will serve up one such curveball at the very beginning of Season 3. As the pair walks through campus, reformed playboy Min Ho asks Kitty if she really wants to go on tour with him. Feeling put on the spot, she laughs at such a suggestion, despite her true feelings. But fate intends to keep these two together, as Eunice (Han Bi Ryu) arrives just in time to invite Kitty to the first stop on the tour: Busan.  

And just like that, Kitty is preparing to “set sail” on her first (hopefully!) romantic trip with Min Ho — she just needs a few minutes to pack her bags. Garza wants viewers to prepare for the “extraordinary set piece” that is XO, Kitty’s yacht getaway to Busan. “It’s such a glamorous, exciting launch to this season,” the showrunner says. “So we’re just so excited to be able to bring our fans along on this journey in Korea and live that kind of K-drama fantasy while we’re exploring these really grounded character stories as well.” 

However, the excitement doesn’t stop in Busan. XO, Kitty Season 3 follows its titular teen matchmaker as she returns for her final year at KISS with her perfect senior year mapped out. She’s going to create meaningful memories with her friends, grow closer to her relatives in Korea, and make big decisions about her future. And Kitty plans to define her relationship with Min Ho — for real this time. But as the trailer reveals, “mixed signals,” judgmental dads, and annoying phone calls might interfere with her “Senior Sunset” plans. Along the way, Kitty will have to learn to embrace the unexpected.

So, will Kitty and Min Ho ever share their first kiss? Or will they just head back to KISS for senior year? Tune into XO, Kitty Season 3 on April 2 to find out — and keep an eye out for one very familiar face.
