UP NEXT 2024: Mel B set to narrate her first TV show, as Sky Kids announces two new Sky Originals coming to the channel later this year

WEBWIRE

Sky Kids has today unveiled two new animated Sky Original series coming to the channel later this year, both bursting with colour and cheer.

Narrated by Mel B, Happy Town follows the problem-solving adventures of an adorable hedgehog and ladybird best friend duo, Pep and Tabitha, in a charming and unique community. The brightness of the light in Happy Town depends on the townsfolks glee, so each time it starts to fizz out, the duo set out on a mission to make the sign shine bright again by helping others and encouraging everyone to help each other too.

Mel B said: This is a huge moment for me to be the voice of Happy Town for Sky Kids – my first time ever as a narrator. Ive actually spent years looking for the perfect childrens show to get involved with because Im a mum of three and I strongly believe that little ones learn so much through brilliant, colourful, creative storytelling. Happy Town is all about kindness and community and a cute ladybird and hedgehog duo who make it their mission to help people. Im totally in love with this gorgeous Sky Kids show. At its heart is fun, adventure and great entertainment – just like me really”

Also joining the Sky Kids slate is fast-paced animated comedy series Lets Go, Bananas! created and written by Tim Bain (Bluey, PJ Masks), focussing on a community of three sweet and silly neighbouring animal families who share each others triumphs, dramas and completely bananas lives. The show is a feel-good celebration of different family structures, and all the wonderful chaos, joy and messy moments which will be recognised and loved by young viewers and their own families.

Lucy Murphy, Director of Sky Kids, said: Full of positivity and encouraging creative thinking, Happy Town is a burst of colour and joy which is completely encapsulated in the brilliant Mel Bs warm and engaging narration.
