Simultaneously, children’s songs and episodes starring Cuquin were produced and published on YouTube with great success. With content produced for digital platforms and VOD services, the Cuquin spin-off premiered on HBO Max and Cartoonito in April 2023.
For Season 2 of Cuquin, experienced preschool comedy writers Lisa Akhurst (PJ Masks, Pip and Posy, Bob the Builder, Postman Pat) and Marc Seal (PJ Masks, Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy, Mike the Knight) continue as the head writing team.
