WildBrain & Peacock Partner for New Caillou Content

WildBrain is working with the Peacock streaming platform to produce 52 new 11-minute episodes of the animated series Caillou.

The new Caillou series continues to explore the daily life of an imaginative and curious 4-year-old boy, who is learning and growing a little more each day. Through the support and encouragement of his parents, friends and neighbors, Caillou reaches new understandings and discoveries as he learns to never give up and keep pursuing his goals until he succeeds.

Peacock will also become the home for five previously announced 44-minute Caillou family specials, currently in production.

The existing Caillou library comprises 234 classic 2D episodes and five digital-first seasons.

“We’re delighted to join with Peacock to expand the Caillou universe,” said Josh Scherba, president of WildBrain. “This is yet another example of how we’re reinvigorating treasured brands from our evergreen library. For over 25 years, preschoolers have connected with Caillou because they can see themselves in these highly relatable stories. Caillou is a kid just like them, facing everyday problems and learning about the world around him. With a new look and stories where Caillou explores the world through wonderful flights of imagination, Caillou is better than ever. We’re confident that today’s kids—and their families—are going to love it.”

“We are overjoyed to work with the team at WildBrain for a new CG-animated version of the beloved Caillou series that won over the hearts of young audiences from around the world,” said Kristofer Updike, VP of kids’ content at NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. “Peacock is committed to enriching the minds of a new generation to promote emotional expression, creative thinking and dreaming big. We can’t wait for parents and their kids to see these pivotal themes come to life in Caillou and in all of Peacock’s kids’ offerings.”
