London, United Kingdom – KidsCo has announced plans for a new look and new content that will roll out globally in the first quarter of 2013. The refreshed KidsCo will feature a redesigned on-air look and graphics, complemented by original, new content and a new website.
Moreover, KidsCo playout will transition to Corus Entertainment’s state-of-the-art facilities at their Toronto-based headquarters next year.
KidsCo will also be introducing a raft of new titles into its schedule, including a new original production, Zuzu and the Supernuffs. The series, currently being produced by award-winning production company Matchbox Pictures (NBCUniversal), with whom KidsCo announced a content deal earlier this year, will air in the second quarter of 2013.
The announcement of this commission comes shortly after KidsCo securing global rights to Shelldon from Shellhut Entertainment and My Place from the Australian Children’s Television Foundation (ACTF).
Additional content from Nelvana, which is owned by KidsCo shareholder and key strategic partner Corus Entertainment, is currently being finalised for KidsCo’s programming pipeline, with titles to be announced later this year.
Zuzu and the Supernuffs follows five furry intergalactic Nuffs who crash land on earth in a rusty old bathtub, where they meet a new friend Zuzu. Together Zuzu and her furry friends venture through the galaxy harnessing their unique superpowers to free the planet of negative thoughts.
