DreamWorks Africa Scores First Original Production

Inspiration Station Africa, the first original production for the DreamWorks network in Africa, is slated to begin airing weekly on January 13, 2023, on DreamWorks and Universal+.

The show explores the creativity behind DreamWorks Animation’s award-winning series and movies. Each week, a team of young correspondents will be on the ground in Johannesburg and Cape Town to discuss topical themes with local kids, drawing on the knowledge explored by DreamWorks characters.

Inspiration Station Africa is being produced by NBCUniversal International Networks & Direct-To-Consumer. It will air weekly on Fridays on DreamWorks Africa DStv channel 304, which launched in March 2022.

“Following the successful launch of DreamWorks on DStv in March 2022, we’re delighted to announce our first-ever original production for the channel in Africa,” commented Lee Raftery, managing director for Europe, Middle East and Africa at NBCUniversal International Networks & Direct-To-Consumer. “Young viewers will be able to delve into the creative thinking behind their favorite animated characters in DreamWorks Africa’s first live-action format, while also hearing about local, South African topics from our new youth presenters.”
