Produced by Australian studio Cheeky Little Media in association with the Australian Broadcasting Company (ABC), France TV and Studio 100 International – which also manages international distribution – Vegesaurs will soon be delighting young viewers across the United States.
PBS member stations in key metropolitan areas such as New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Washington D.C., Orlando, and Salt Lake City have already picked up the series, with additional local PBS stations expected to follow in the coming weeks.
In addition to this growing broadcast footprint, Vegesaurs will be available to families nationwide via PBS Passport, the public broadcaster’s premium streaming service. Accessible through the PBS app, this platform ensures that children across the entire United States can enjoy the series anytime, anywhere.
Dorian Buehr, Head of Global Distribution of Studio 100 International, stated:
Launching ‘Vegesaurs’ on PBS Passport and PBS member stations marks an important step in the brand’s ongoing global rollout. It’s imaginative concept, lovable characters, and focus on fun, friendship, and healthy eating habits make it an ideal fit for the PBS audience and the U.S. preschool market.
Vegesaurs combines comedy, action, and gentle preschool storytelling in a vibrant world where food-based dinosaur creatures roam. Leading the adventure is Ginger, the adorable and young Tricarrotops who embarks on playful and meaningful journeys with her fellow Pea-Rex friends. The series promotes positive social behavior, curiosity, and healthy eating habits in a fresh and engaging way.
The US rollout represents a major milestone in Vegesaurs expanding global success. Already a favorite among preschool audiences in Australia, Canada, Europe, and beyond, the series continues to grow in popularity across both the broadcast and licensing landscapes. The brand is already seeing growing licensing success in Europe, supported by strong interest across multiple categories.
Thomas Davison, Director Business Development, Grants & International Sales at APT, commented:
’Vegesaurs’ is a fresh take on the dinosaur genre with relatable themes for upper preschoolers like mealtime, sharing, friendship and play. We look forward to bringing this innovative series to U.S. public television audiences nationwide.
In North America, Epic Story Media serves as the licensing agent for the U.S. and Canada, while Epic Story Toys is the appointed global master toy partner for the brand.
