The Wiggles will air its TV series Ready Steady Wiggle! in the UK on Sky UK’s new channel, Sky Kids
ABC Commercial has sold two seasons of the children’s program, which features catchy songs and engaging stories and is curated to inspire and entertain preschoolers.
Ready, Steady, Wiggle! is the beloved group’s premier TV offering which features new and fan-favourite songs, playful dances and stories grounded in early childhood education principles.
Acquired by Sky Kids, the latest season is the first to showcase the talents of eight gender-balanced and diverse Wiggles including rising stars Tsehay Hawkins and John Pearce.
Jessica Ellis, head of ABC commercial, said: “The Wiggles have brought joy to families around the world for many years and will continue to do so well into the future.
“ABC Commercial is proud to represent the number one children’s act in the world, and to be working with Sky Kids to bring high quality Australian content to its audiences.”
The Wiggles have entertained millions of families across the world for over 30 years and are looking forward to connecting with a new generation of fans in the UK.
Luke Field, The Wiggles general manager, said: “We are thrilled to be partnering with Sky Kids. 2023 is going to be a banner year for The Wiggles, with our North American tour later this year and a brand-new TV show in the works.
“As we celebrate our 32nd year of entertaining children around the world, we are excited to continue introducing children in the UK to all the Wiggly fun.”
ABC Commercial holds distribution rights in English-speaking territories for the Wiggles’ current catalogue.
Ready Steady Wiggle! will be available on Sky Kids from 7 April 2023.
