This recommission is a testament to the enduring power of children’s media make lasting memories and promote kindness, inclusion and togetherness.”
Lisa Hazlehurst, Head of Lion Television Scotland said: “We are thrilled to be able to dream up more adventures for the Balamory gang following the wonderful response to the reboot. At Lion Scotland we believe there is something truly magical about seeing real people sharing adventures in one of the most beautiful settings on the planet.
