We can all identify with Princess Stella\u2019s challenge to fit in at school while still staying true to herself, even if we might not go to quite the extremes she does! We faced a huge number of challenges during the production and we had to adapt our plans. The show was created by really talented artists working from home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eimear O\u2019Mahony, executive producer for RT\u00c9 Young Peoples, added: \u201c<em>Royals Next Door<\/em> is a great new addition to our slate for RT\u00c9 Kids. It&#8217;s especially important for our older audience as it deals with a family being outsiders, and how Stella and her family deal with that in a fun way. Our older audience are adjusting to changes in their lives, be it new schools or groups of friends, and it is really important for them to see people dealing with change being reflected on our screens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Byrne, television manager of Screen Ireland, said: \u201cWe are delighted to support <em>Royals Next Door<\/em> and the talented work of Ink and Light and the broader creative team. Reaching and connecting with younger audiences is an important part of our support and creative investment. We very much look forward to seeing the adventures of Stella and family translate with children across Europe in the coming months.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Royals Next Door, a new animated comedy from Finnish-Spanish studio Pikkukala, together with Irish studio Ink and Light and Belgium&#8217;s Walking the Dog, has premiered on RT\u00c9 in Ireland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":21963,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[6287,6288,274,6289],"class_list":["post-21962","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-ink-and-light","tag-pikkukala","tag-rte","tag-walking-the-dog","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>RT\u00c9 Debuts New Comedy Series Royals Next Door - TVKIDS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/rte-debuts-new-comedy-series-royals-next-door\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"RT\u00c9 Debuts New Comedy Series Royals Next Door - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Royals Next Door, a new animated comedy from Finnish-Spanish studio Pikkukala, together with Irish studio Ink and Light and Belgium&#039;s Walking the Dog, has premiered on RT\u00c9 in Ireland.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/rte-debuts-new-comedy-series-royals-next-door\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-11-24T14:46:06+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-11-24T16:17:42+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/07\/RTE-RoyalsNextDoor-1121.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"338\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/rte-debuts-new-comedy-series-royals-next-door\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/rte-debuts-new-comedy-series-royals-next-door\/\",\"name\":\"RT\u00c9 Debuts New Comedy Series Royals Next Door - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2021-11-24T14:46:06+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-11-24T16:17:42+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/rte-debuts-new-comedy-series-royals-next-door\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/rte-debuts-new-comedy-series-royals-next-door\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/rte-debuts-new-comedy-series-royals-next-door\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"RT\u00c9 Debuts New Comedy Series Royals Next Door\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\",\"name\":\"TVKIDS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
