CBeebies’ JoJo & Gran Gran Lands Two-Season Renewal

BBC Children’s In-House Productions has landed a double commission for the animated preschool series JoJo & Gran Gran, which is getting two more seasons on CBeebies.

Billed as the U.K.’s first preschool animated series featuring a Black British family, JoJo & Gran Gran tells the story of a 4-year-old girl and her fun and wise grandmother who cares for JoJo while her parents are working. The show has been renewed for seasons two and three.

Helen Bullough, head of BBC Children’s In-House Productions, said: “JoJo & Gran Gran is a very special brand, celebrating that special relationship between grandparent and child, reflecting kids’ lives and inspiring real-world discovery and play. In turn, we’ve been inspired by the feedback from the audience and are thrilled that we’ve now got the opportunity to follow JoJo and Gran Gran on even further adventures.”
