Netflix is bringing back Teletubbies – and it’s saying an additional “eh-oh” to your favourite Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt star.
Netflix has ordered 26 new 12-minute episodes, each written by Catherine Williams. They will once again see us join colourful friends Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po on wonder-filled adventures as they learn and grow in this 21st century refresh of the preschool hit – now narrated by none other than Tituss Burgess.
Each episode includes new, original “Tummy Tales” songs that will have the entire family dancing along. The Teletubbies Performers will be Rachelle Beinart, Rebecca Hyland, Nick Chee Ping Kellington and Jeremiah Krage, with Tummy Tales hosted by Julia Pulo.
The exec-producers are Kate Bennetts, Maddy Darrall, Steven DeNure, Billy Macqueen and Michael Towner, with Tummy Tales exec-produced by Stephanie Betts, Anne Loi and Josh Scherba.
The series will premiere on 14th November.
