Amazon Goes for Sigmund and the Sea Monsters Reboot

SEATTLE: Amazon Studios has ordered the new kids’ originals Sid and Marty Krofft’s Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, a live-action reimagining of the classic 1970s series, and Bug Diaries, a book-based animated show.

Sid and Marty Krofft’s Sigmund and the Sea Monsters is meant for children between the ages of 6 and 11. The reboot will center on two brothers who, along with their cousin, befriend a young sea monster. Bug Diaries is a preschool comedy inspired by the books by author Doreen Cronin and illustrator Harry Bliss. The show will follow the adventures of three insect friends.

“We are so excited to bring this beloved series, Bug Diaries, to our customers that highlights important life lessons for our young viewers,” said Tara Sorensen, the head of kids’ programming at Amazon Studios. “We also look forward to reviving the classic Sigmund and the Sea Monsters that has a strong message of friendship.”
