EH-OH, THE TELETUBBIES ARE BACK!

BELOVED CHARACTERS RETURN IN ALL-NEW PRESCHOOL SERIES ON NICK JR. CHANNEL, WHILE CLASSIC ORIGINAL EPISODES LAUNCH ON THE NOGGIN APP

Updated Version of Teletubbies Series Premieres on Nick Jr., Monday, May 30, at 8 a.m. (ET/PT)

Teletubbies Original Episode Library Available on NOGGIN Thursday, May 26

NEW YORK-May 12, 2016-Nickelodeon will transport preschoolers to the magical countryside of Teletubbyland in an all-new updated version of the iconic Teletubbies series, debuting on the Nick Jr. channel Monday, May 30, at 8 a.m. (ET/PT) with daily premieres every week day in June. NOGGIN, Nickelodeon's video subscription service for preschoolers, will also add the classic Teletubbies library to its content slate beginning Thursday, May 26. Full of fun and exploration, Teletubbies inspires confidence and curiosity, and nurtures childhood development. Teletubbies is produced by DHX Media.

The new Teletubbies series (30 episodes) will stay true to the classic with the same beloved characters, Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po, but will feature subtle updates and visual enhancements. The characters now have Touch Screen Tummies, which will broadcast live-action films shot from a child's perspective, and the series will feature new gadgets like the Tubby Phone and the twirling, whirling Tubby Custard Ride. The new Teletubbies series debuted at number-one last November in the UK on CBeebies, BBC's dedicated preschool channel, and has since enjoyed outstanding ratings on the air and on the BBC iPlayer.

In the new Teletubbies TV series premiere, "Making Friends / Watering Can," the Teletubbies greet the flowers, while the children in Tummy Tales make a friendship circle out of handprints. Po waters objects using a magic watering can so they grow and the Teletubbies celebrate with a splashy puddle dance.

The first two seasons (52 episodes) of the classic Teletubbies series will be available on NOGGIN beginning Thursday, May 26, with the remaining episodes in the title rolling out in the coming months. Currently available on iOS and Apple TV, Google Play, Android and Amazon, NOGGIN consistently ranks at the top of the charts in the Education and Kids categories on the Apple App Store. NOGGIN is currently the #1 Top Grossing Family and Music Video App and is in the top ten Grossing Education Apps for Google Play Rankings. To date, NOGGIN has 19 library series available including Blue's Clues; Go, Diego, Go! and The Backyardigans, among others.
