Paramount+ has given series orders to Hidden Pigeon Company\u2019s The Elephant & Piggie Show!<\/em> and The Pigeon Show! Starring the Pigeon<\/em>, based on children\u2019s author Mo Willems\u2019 books.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are so excited to be partnering with Paramount+ to further expand the world of Mo Willems through these two new series,\u201d said Karen K. Miller, CEO of Hidden Pigeon Company, which will be producing the series. \u201cWe can\u2019t wait to present more of the characters and stories that kids everywhere already know and love in ways that will surprise and delight them at every turn.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMo Willems has delighted kids and \u2018former kids\u2019 around the world with these beloved characters,\u201d added Jane Wiseman, head of originals for Paramount+. \u201cWhether it’s Elephant and Piggie navigating the hard work of \u2018best-friending\u2019 or The Pigeon confusing wants and needs (a hot dog! a cookie! to drive the bus!), these characters remind us that the best stories are the ones that make us laugh and feel something real. We’re thrilled to bring them to life on Paramount+.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Elephant & Piggie Show!<\/em> will be a comedic pre-K series taking place in the small, walkable neighborhood of Willemsburg. Elephant Gerald is careful, while his best friend Piggie is not. Together, they celebrate the art of friendship.<\/p>\n

The Pigeon Show! Starring the Pigeon<\/em> will follow the day-to-day struggles of a pigeon who just wants to be listened to. Alongside the Pigeon, it will feature other familiar characters from Willems\u2019 books, including the Duckling, who always seems to get what she wants, as well as new characters, such as the Pigeon\u2019s 150-million-year-old pterodactyl grandmother and his best friends, Ima Pigeon and Doug Pigeon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
