Peacock will exclusively premiere all three seasons of Agent Binky: Pets of the Universe (78 x 22min) in the U.S. on August 15, 2024. The 3D animated series produced by redknot, a joint venture between Nelvana and Warner Bros. Discovery, is based on the best-selling books by Ashley Spires and published by Corus Entertainment’s Kids Can Press. Agent Binky and his fellow P.U.R.S.T. Agents are all geared up and ready as ever to protect their human families from aliens, robots and the W.U.R.S.T. villain – Chirpy McChirp! Featuring characters, adventures and cool gadgets, this furr-tastic team is certified for action and determined to go where no pet has gone before.
The Dog & Pony Show (26 x 22 min) will also have its U.S. premiere on Peacock, with episodes launching September 15th, 2024. Produced by redknot and created by 10-time daytime Emmy® Award winning writer Josh Selig, the hilarious 2D animated series features two very different best friends, Dog and Pony, who leave their magical world of Rainbow Fjörd to move to the not-so-magical big city of Unicity. Between Pony’s outrageous ideas and Dog’s fascination with the mundane, things never quite go as planned igniting chaotic adventures.
Additionally, Super Wish (26 x 22min), the 2D animated series produced by redknot and created by Nelvana’s very own Vanessa Esteves and Emmy® Award winning Adrian Thatcher, will debut on October 10th on Peacock in the US. In the series, when Jesse Cameron accidentally wishes his birthday party to disappear, he and his friends must venture through a magical realm known as The Happy Land of Birthdays to track down and un-do his Super Wish in order to get back home. As they encounter wondrous characters and action-packed adventures, Jesse and his friends rediscover the magic of birthdays and just how great it is to be a kid.
