Sky Kids has a slate of new originals and returning shows coming to its schedule, including Funny Talking Animals<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The brand-new original series Funny Talking Animals<\/em> combines real wildlife footage, state-of-the-art animation and the candid voices of young children. BAFTA-winning comedian and TV personality Iain Stirling narrates.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never thought I would be able to combine my Love Island<\/em> voiceover and my years in kids\u2019 TV,\u201d Stirling said. \u201cBut thanks to Funny Talking Animals,<\/em> we\u2019ve only gone and done it!\u201d<\/p>\n

Mel B makes her children\u2019s television debut with Happy Town<\/em>, which follows the problem-solving adventures of an adorable hedgehog and ladybird best friend duo, Pep and Tabitha, in a charming and unique community.<\/p>\n

BooSnoo!<\/em> has been recommissioned for a third season, offering children moments of calm and creativity through its unique approach tailored to young and neurodiverse children.<\/p>\n

The Very Small Creatures<\/em>, from Aardman and director Lucy Izzard, has also been recommissioned for a third season.<\/p>\n

Lucy Murphy, director of kids content at Sky, said: \u201cWith this new slate of commissions from Sky Kids, we are excited to continue investing in the U.K.\u2019s creative industry and working with amazing talent in British studios across the U.K. Working with the brilliant Mel B and Iain Stirling has been a joy\u2014we know our audience will love the warmth and comedy they bring to our brand-new shows Happy Town<\/em> and Funny Talking Animals<\/em>. And, of course, we are delighted to be announcing our first co-production with BBC Studios, Funny Talking Animals<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
