Spotlight: The Jim Henson Company

An adaptation of the classic book series, The Jim Henson Company’s All-of-a-Kind Family follows a hardworking Jewish family with five sisters: Ella, Henny, Sarah, Charlotte and Gerti.

The girls must navigate the wonders and trials of being first-generation immigrants in Manhattan in 1911. “At the heart of the series is an emphasis on love, family, tradition and what an incredibly fun time it was to be a kid,” says Halle Stanford, president of television.

Gizmo Girls, an animated preschool series, features superheroes who solve their town’s challenges with real tools.

The live-action preschool puppet series Wowsabout sees a guitar-playing hedgehog and a tree-loving pig experience all the wonders of the natural world. “Wowsabout is about connecting children to the magnificence and awe on planet Earth,” Stanford says.

“Our secret sauce, the ‘Henson way,’ is creating characters and shows with humor, heart and hope,” she adds.
