Next month, Sky Kids (U.K.) will introduce young viewers to the whimsical animated world of Happy Town (25 x 7′). Celebrating joy and kindness, the new series is narrated by Mel B in her first ever children’s television role. The Sky Original premieres February 17 on Sky Kids and streaming on NOW.
Synopsis: Happy Town follows the problem-solving adventures of an adorable hedgehog and ladybird best friend duo, Pep and Tabitha, in a charming and unique community. The brightness of the Happy Town sign depends on the townsfolks’ glee, so each time the sign light fizzes out, the duo set out on a mission to make the sign shine bright again by helping others and encouraging everyone to help each other too — all narrated by Mel B.
Happy Town was commissioned by Lucy Murphy, Director of Kids Content at Sky for Cécile Frot-Coutaz, CEO of Sky Studios & Chief Content Officer for Sky. The Commissioning Editor for Sky is Ian France.
The series is created by James Fox and produced by Dominic Buttimore for Happy Town Productions, with animation services by Flix Animation.
