BBC’s ‘Hey Duggee’ & ‘Supertato’ Make NorAm Netflix Debuts

The lovable doggy pedagogue of BBC Studios’ Hey Duggee has landed on U.S. and Canadian screens through Netflix, where Season 1 (50 x 7′) of the seven-time BAFTA and International Emmy Award-winning preschool series is now streaming!

Families who tune in will meet Duggee, a big lovable dog who runs a club for preschoolers that inspires children to have fun, be energetic, and — most of all — to do things!

Each episode starts with Duggee welcoming the Squirrels, a bunch of curious little characters who are dropped off at the club by their parents. That marks the start of laughter and learning as they discover new things about the world around them, all under the patient guidance of Duggee. Their often comic adventures encourage young viewers to actively solve a problem by moving, jumping, running and skipping. Duggee always rewards the club members with a squirrel activity badge, which they proudly show to their parents as they pick them up at the end of each show.

Hey Duggee is created by Grant Orchard and produced by Studio AKA in association with BBC Studios Kids & Family and CBeebies. The series  is narrated by comedian and presenter, Alexander Armstrong, and also features voices performed by Sander Jones, Lucy Montgomery and Adam Longworth.

Hey Duggee is available to stream on Netflix, Peacock, Tubi, YouTube and Samsung TV Plus (via the BBC Kids FAST Channel) in the U.S. and on Netflix, WildBrain, CBC and Tele-Quebec in Canada.

Supertato

Another popular British preschool hero has also swooped onto Netflix in the U.S. in Supertato Season 1 (52 x 7′), for the first time on a mainstream SVOD platform in the States.

Based on the bestselling books by Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet, Supertato follows the adventures of the potato superhero and his fruit and veggie sidekicks — the Tato Team— as they thwart the dastardly plans of Evil Pea who is determined to take over the supermarket forever.

The supermarket may be closed but everything is far from quiet. Evil Pea has escaped her icy lair in the freezer and is determined to take over the store forever. This action-packed, slapstick comedy series follows the adventures of Supertato as he and his fruit and vegetable pals do everything they can to try and stop Evil Pea. Each episode brings new challenges and hilarious silliness — from riding an out-of-control toy dinosaur to building a baguette rocket to visiting the stinky cheese moon in the deli aisle. But will our superhero be able to protect his friends and return Evil Pea to the freezer where she belongs?

Supertato S1 is a co-production between BBC Studios Kids & Family Productions and Tencent Video. The series is available to stream on Netflix, Tubi, BentKey, YouTube and Samsung TV Plus (via the BBC Kids FAST Channel) in the U.S.
