CBeebies working on LazyTown spin-off
CBeebies has joined forces with the team behind hit kids series LazyTown to produce an exclusive new spin-off show.
LazyTown Extra will be co-produced by Lazytown Entertainment and BBC Children's Scotland for exclusive broadcast on the CBeebies digital channel.
The magazine format show, aimed at 3-6s, will feature LazyTown puppet character Ziggy talking to children from across the UK about their favourite activities.
Filming of these inserts is due to start this summer. Each themed episode will be 14-minutes in length and will feature all the LazyTown characters. Star of the show, Sportacus, will introduce an exercise of the day while Trixie and Stephanie will create recipes in the kitchen.
CBeebies controller Michael Carrington said: "Motivating young children to be active is really important to CBeebies, so when the opportunity arose to inspire them by exploring different physical activities around the UK in collaboration with one of their favourite LazyTown characters, we jumped at the chance."
Magnus Scheving, chief executive and creator of Lazytown, added: "This takes the LazyTown brand in a new direction opening up even more opportunities."
LazyTown Extra is produced by Angela Galvin and executive produced by Sara Harkins in Scotland for CBeebies.
