Peacock is commissioning two new animated series and renewing a third, continuing its commitment to originals that give its content offering for kids a unique feel.

The US streamer has ordered CG-animated series Tea Town Teddy Bears (26 x 11 minutes) from Thailand’s M2 Animation. Rob Hudnut, Mads Munk and Torsten Jakobsen are executive producers on this series for kids ages four to seven about three teddy bears who love throwing tea parties, playing games and singing with their friends. 

Also newly greenlit is Superbuns from Toronto-based Yowza! Animation. This punchy new 2D-animated series based on Diane Kredensor’s same-name kids book is about a bunny whose superpower is unlimited kindness. Kredensor and Heather Walker will serve as executive producers on the 39 x seven-minute project, which is aimed at two- to five-year-olds. 

And primed for a second season (39 x seven minutes) on the SVOD platform is M2 Animation’s Team Mekbots Animal Rescue, about four kids who save the world by becoming robotic animals. 

NBCUniversal Kids & Family is the international distributor for all three shows. 

Peacock has been investing in more original kids programming lately as part of an overall content strategy that seems to be working well. The streamer picked up five million new subscribers in its fourth quarter.
