Nickelodeon and indie company Silvergate Media have announced the greenlight of a second season (26 episodes, two half-hour specials) of the hit animated preschool series Peter Rabbit. Launched on Nick in December 2012, Peter Rabbit is based on the characters created by Beatrix Potter in her classic children’s series The Tales of Peter Rabbit. Peter Rabbit is produced in conjunction with Silvergate Media and animated by Brown Bag Films.
A brand-new episode of Peter Rabbit, “The Tale of the Giant Pumpkin/The Tale of the Fierce Bad Rabbit,” will premiere Friday, Oct. 25, at 1:30 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon. Peter Rabbit reached 6.3 million preschoolers in third quarter 2013.
“Peter Rabbit has captured the hearts of preschoolers and parents because of the series’ rich stories, loveable characters and stunning animation,” said Teri Weiss, exec vp of production and development at Nickelodeon Preschool. “We are excited about continuing our partnership with Silvergate Media on creating this dynamic series that champions determination, discovery and being a good friend.”
The second season will continue to follow the adventures of mischievous Peter Rabbit and his best friends Benjamin Bunny and Lily Bobtail, as well as many of the much-loved and iconic Beatrix Potter characters, including Squirrel Nutkin, Jeremy Fisher and Mr. Tod. Season two will see the addition of Mittens the cat, Pig Robinson, and Mr. Tolly the tortoise, along with an expanded animated world for Peter and his friends to explore.
