The season will celebrate the 100th episode of the show as it continues to explore natural sciences with an emphasis on its adventure, discovery, new inventions, social emotional learning and traveling outside of our comfort zone.

Louise Fitzhugh's Harriet the Spy and Audrey Penn's heartwarming The Kissing Hand have been added to the Henson company's development slate.

In his new managerial role, Ellis will bring with him a catalogue of writers, directors, producers and artists specialising in animation and children’s programming.

“Sony Pictures Television’s broad reaching Tiny Pop channel is the ideal home for these three popular series, and children across the UK will get to enjoy the adventures of each of these fun new characters very soon."

Initial pre-school brands Rockpool Licensing will manage for The Jim Henson Company include the marine biology series Splash and Bubbles, Doozers and Dot. Classics properties include Fraggle Rock and Labyrinth.

The CGI animated series is co-produced with Herschend Studios and is currently airing in the US on PBS KIDS.

‘Doozers has developed an enthusiastic fan base on Hulu, and they’ll soon be back to entertain curious pre-schoolers with bigger stakes adventures,’ says The Jim Henson Company’s Halle Stanford.

The lines will include infant and toddler apparel, adult apparel, accessories and home goods for direct and online sales, as well as selected specialty and mid-tier retail locations nationwide.

Netflix has released a teaser for the prequel series, while McFarlane Toys is to produce The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth toys.

“We have received an enthusiastic response for Splash and Bubbles and Dot and have secured top broadcast partners in key territories to introduce children to these engaging new characters."
