Peacock Bolsters Kids’ Slate

Peacock is expanding its children’s programming roster, with additions such as Press Start! from Cyber Group Studios.

Based on the best-selling Scholastic book series, Press Start! is a CG animated comedy adventure series for children ages 5 to 7. It follows the adventures of Sunny and Rue Zaki, a dynamic brother-and-sister duo whose mysterious game controller gives them the ability to enter the world of their favorite fast-paced video game.

From DreamWorks Animation, Peacock has picked up Megamind’s Guide to Defending Your City and Abominable and the Invisible City series, follow-ups to the hit animated films.

Also joining the lineup are Team Mekbots Animal Rescue, Dino Pops and a second season of Babble Bop! In Team Mekbots Animal Rescue, four animal-loving kids from around the world use their tech skills to create giant Mekbots—each inspired by a different animal. Dino Pops is set in a vivid, hyper-realistic land inhabited by ferocious, and often silly, dinosaurs.
