Following the first two seasons of Sky Original Let’s Game; 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: Worldbuilders. The series is produced by Monrae Productions and Nest Productions.
Sky has also collaborated once more with award-winning teacher turned rapper Jacob Mitchell in MC Grammar: Rap Tales. Each episode of the animated series 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 series is produced by Monkey.
Also on the slate are the already announced Pip & Posy: Let’s Learn from Magic Light and Isadora Moon, produced by Kelebek Media.
Pip and Posy: Let’s Learn is a new off-shoot from the show based on books by Gruffalo-illustrator Axel Scheffler. The show will see Pip, Posy and their friends use their 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.
