BBC Children’s and Education, Alphablocks Ltd. and Blue Zoo Animation Studio are bringing back the hugely popular phonics-focused series Alphablocks as part of the expanding Numberblocks and Friends universe.
The educational series returns to CBeebies with a fresh visual upgrade and advanced phonics curriculum designed for young learners. The reboot marks the first full season since 2013, following the success of the Alphablocks-Numberblocks crossover specials in 2022.
The new series maintains the show’s signature charm while introducing more complex phonics concepts, helping children master reading fundamentals through engaging storylines and musical elements. Each episode features enhanced animation bringing the alphabetical characters to life.
In January 2025, a brand new entry to the ‘Blocks lineup, Wonderblocks, premiered on CBeebies. Now Alphablocks follows to continue the fun for young learners!
“We’re over the moon to bring Alphablocks to a new generation.” says Blue Zoo’s Oli Hyatt, “The show’s proven educational approach, combined with modern animation techniques, creates an ideal learning environment for today’s children. The Blocks brand content is used in 90% of U.K. primary schools and these educational animations have revolutionized early learning to such an extent that the national curriculum has adapted to match children’s enhanced capabilities.”
The new series of Alphablocks premieres on February 10 and will be released on BBC iPlayer.
