The animated children’s series the WotWots is coming to Canada from New Zealand.
The series, created by Richard Taylor and Martin Bantyon, will debut Feb. 22 at 6:15 p.m. on Canada’s Treehouse channel.
The series and its 52 10-minute episodes will be seen in an estimated 8 million home in Canada. In addition to the Friday slot, it will air Saturdays at 6:30 p.m. and Sundays at 1:40 p.m.
Launched in New Zealand on TVNZ in 2009, the WotWots has become one of the country’s most popular preschool properties and is currently seen on TV2 and TVNZ6 daily. It’s been a hit in Australia and the United Kingdom.
We are absolutely thrilled to be launching the WotWots in Canada on Treehouse,’ said Taylor, co-founder of Weta Workshop. ‘The series is already enjoying great success in other territories so we look forward to seeing similar results in Canada’.
The WotWots is produced by Pukeko Pictures and made at Richard Taylor’s Weta Workshop. Pukeko Pictures is a new business partnership between Taylor and children’s television creator Baynton. Taylor and Baynton previously teamed up to create the award winning children’s program, Jane and the Dragon.
