It is intended for children aged 3 to 5 and will be available across the U.S. on PBS stations, the new 24\/7 PBS Kids channel and PBS Kids digital platforms. <em>Pinkalicious &amp; Peterrific<\/em> follows the adventures of the very creative Pinkalicious and her brother Peter. Each episode of the show will feature two 11-minute stories.<\/p>\n<p>Games based on the show will become available on the PBS Kids website and PBS Kids Games app. A <em>Pinkalicious &amp; Peterrific<\/em> app will also launch in 2018. The series is currently in production at WGBH Boston and its animation partner, Sixteen South, for 38 half-hour episodes and one hour-long special.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPBS stations are a go-to destination for the arts in their communities across the country; we often hear from artists that their first exposure to the arts came from PBS programming,\u201d said Linda Simensky, the VP of children\u2019s programming at PBS. \u201cWe are thrilled to build on our commitment to the arts with a PBS Kids series entirely dedicated to the arts and creativity. Through\u00a0<em>Pinkalicious &amp; Peterrific<\/em>, we hope to encourage children across America to follow their passions and express themselves creatively, while building important skills and having fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cResearch shows that participating in the arts strengthens children\u2019s cognitive and emotional skills, and leads to higher academic performance,\u201d added Dorothea Gillim, the series&#8217; executive producer. \u201cKids will simply connect with the great characters Pinkalicious and Peter, and their friends Jasmine, Rafael and Lila; the entertaining and quirky stories; and the visually stunning animation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m tremendously excited to see the world of Pinkalicious and Peterrific come alive,\u201d Kann commented. \u201cAnd I\u2019m grateful to PBS and WGBH for helping to empower kids to explore and express their full creativity through this wonderful new series.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PBS Kids has slated the premiere of Pinkalicious &#038;
