Sky Kids has revealed exclusive first-look images for its fresh slate of original programming, featuring returning favorites and new formats for young audiences — including animated celebrations of spooky Halloween parties and chill Christmas specials.
The lineup includes:
A bold and enchanting new original, Emerald (18 x 11′ plus 22 min. special), based on the much-loved book series by Harriet Muncaster (Isadora Moon). It follows a mermaid princess who swims to the beat of her own drum as she faces unexpected adventures and changing family dynamics. Emerald does things her way — with joy, creativity and plenty of heart. The series features Shelly the Turtle voiced by Adjoa Andoh MBE (Bridgerton).
This series is produced by Kelebek Media. Deborah Thorpe is the showrunner.
The third season of BAFTA-nominated The Very Small Creatures, produced by Aardman, brings back the lovable five for more comedy, warmth and emotional storytelling as they continue to explore a child’s play area when no one is around. The season is accompanied by The Very Small Creatures Mashups — longer compilation episodes from Seasons 1-3, themed around playful moments like messy play, dress up and celebration.
Lucy Izzard is series director of The Very Small Creatures Season 3 (20 x 3′) and Mashups (21 x 9′).
Pip & Posy’s Spooktacular Party (22 min.), a brand new special from the BAFTA-nominated series, sees Pip, Posy and their friends meeting at Frankie’s flat for a Halloween party where everyone dresses up and competes to get the most ‘jumps’ of the evening and win a special crown. With Halloween games, spooky storytelling and treats galore there’s just one big question — why does the ghost decoration keep moving around…?
This series is produced by Magic Light Pictures. Stefano Dunne is the associate producer.
Ahead of the January 2026 release of the third season of BAFTA-nominated series BooSnoo!, BooSnoo! Christmas Mashup (11 min.) brings together snow, ski slopes and seasonal cheer in one visually rich festive treat, which brings a bit of calm to the Christmas season.
This series is produced by Visionality, Studio Liddell and Mackinnon & Saunders in association with APX Content Ventures. Julian Bashford is the creator and executive producer.
The line-up also includes the live-action storytelling series Jaime’s Treetop Tales(20 x 5′), form Zodiak Kids & Family Productions U.K.
“The Sky Kids team are proud to be working with our brilliant creative partners across the U.K. to bring back audience favorites in new formats — Pip & Posy, The Very Small Creatures and BooSnoo! — as well as brand new shows that introduce the magical underwater world of Emerald and the beautiful storytelling of Jaime Amor. This slate reflects what Sky Kids is all about: imaginative, joyful, and high-quality entertainment that kids love and parents’ trust.”
