Gaming, rap music, fairy-vampires and creativity collide in new shows from Sky Kids
Sky Kids has today unveiled two brand new Sky Originals, Let’s Game: World Builders and MC Grammar: Rap Tales, set to hit screens later this year.
Following the huge success of the first two seasons of Sky Original Let’s Game; popular YouTube gamers DanTDM, Yammy, Jelly, Slogo, LDShadowLady, EthanGamer and I am Sanna will take on a series of challenges including speed building, build offs and much more, in a new addition to the franchise, Let’s Game: World Builders. Viewers will watch their favourite gamers collaborate in-game as they put their skills to the test in a format that is friendly and safe.
Sky has also collaborated once more with award-winning teacher turned rapper Jacob Mitchell in MC Grammar: Rap Tales, a fully animated series for the whole family to enjoy. Each episode tells a contemporary version of a classic fairy tale as ‘The Grammar Gang’ morph into fairy tale characters with a modern twist like Jack and the Beat-stalk and Goldi-rocks as they sing and rap tales in the vibrant MC Grammar universe.
The excitement doesn’t stop there, with first look images of Pip & Posy: Let’s Learn and Isadora Moon also revealed today.
Pip and Posy: Let’s Learn is a brand new off-shoot from the hit show based on books by Gruffalo-illustrator Axel Scheffler. The show will see Pip, Posy and their friends use their amazing sense of fun and imagination to explore a range of concepts from the early years curriculum.
Isadora Moon, adapted from author and illustrator Harriet Muncaster’s international best-selling book series, is a brand-new animated series full of humour, heart and magical adventures. Enchanted and human worlds collide as 8-year-old half-fairy half-vampire, Isadora Moon, chooses to go to human school, navigating all sorts of adventures with her friends.
Lucy Murphy, Director of Kids Content at Sky UK said: “We are delighted to bring four great new premium shows to Sky Kids. From early years learning with the gorgeous Pip and Posy and world building with huge talent from the gaming world via another great format, to MC Grammar’s earworm raps and the joy of the world of Isadora Moon, there really is something for children of all ages to fall in love with.”
