BBC Studios Kids & Family Partners for New Maisy Series

BBC Studios Kids & Family has partnered with Trustbridge Entertainment for My Friend Maisy, a new 2D animated series based on the best-selling Maisy books from Lucy Cousins.

With Matilda Tristram (Peppa Pig) as lead writer, My Friend Maisy will feature Maisy’s voice for the first time. The five-minute episodes will follow her adventures as she does everything from fix a car and fly a rocket to the moon or slip into a dreamscape world.

“My Friend Maisy pushes the boundaries of classic preschool storytelling with stories that slip seamlessly between the real and the surreal, like a child’s imagination,” said Tony Reed, creative lead for animation at BBC Studios Kids & Family. “Maisy and her friends are unique in today’s preschool landscape in that they are child-like, but not bound by the limits of childhood. Maisy really can go anywhere and do anything, just because she’s Maisy, and we are delighted to have partnered with Trustbridge Entertainment to bring her humor, imagination and camaraderie to a global TV audience.”

“We are honored for My Friend Maisy to be the first show produced under the Trustbridge Entertainment banner,” said Bob Higgins, president of Trustbridge Entertainment. “The warmth, handcrafted love and quirky humor that Lucy Cousins has imbued in every page of her Maisy books radiate throughout this spectacular series. Millions of children and their families around the world already know and adore Maisy and now they will get to laugh and play along with Maisy and her friends in a whole new way.”
