Studio 100’s comedy-adventure CGI series Vegesaurs (20 x 5’) makes its UK debut on CBeebies today (27th February). Broadcast on the channel’s Discover & Do zone in a weekday morning slot, the captivating series will also stream on BBC iPlayer.

This extraordinary new show aimed at pre-schoolers is produced by independent Australian studio Cheeky Little Media in association with the Australian Broadcasting Company (ABC), France TV and Studio 100. Season 2, with 20 more episodes, is currently in production and set for delivery in the summer of 2023.

Vegesaurs made a successful debut on ABC Australia in May 2022, averaging more than 1m viewers per episode and ranging among the Top 5 children’s programmes in Australia. The show premiered in Europe on France TV in October 2022, and further international broadcasters on board for the series include SVT (Sweden), YLE (Finland), LTV (Latvia), MTVA (Hungary), Knowledge TV and Radio Canada (Canada).

In addition, Studio 100 Media has already launched several social media channels to support the brand’s awareness and is continuously adding fresh content on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.

In July 2023, master publisher Macmillan Children‘s Books will set its book programme in motion, led by picture books that bring the series’ characters to life on the printed page, followed by story board books in the autumn.

To establish an extensive UK licensing programme, Studio 100 Media appointed agency BWI (Brands With Influence) last autumn. BWI is already in promising negotiations with a range of licensees covering various categories for this innovative brand.
