Big Top Academy to Bow on POP

The original live-action Cirque du Soleil series Big Top Academy is slated to premiere in the U.K. on POP, a free-to-air channel for 6- to 10-year-old children.

Set in a fictitious circus arts boarding school, Big Top Academy follows a group of young acrobats who dream of hitting the Big Top as professional circus performers. The series will make its debut on POP on February 3.

Big Top Academy is produced by Apartment 11 Productions in association with Discovery Kids and TVOkids, in collaboration with Cirque du Soleil Images.
