Moonbug Entertainment, the company behind CoComelon, is bringing another one of their core franchises to Netflix, Blippi. Blippi: Adventures and Blippi: School Supply Scavenger Hunt are headed to Netflix in all English-speaking regions on January 14th, 2022.
The YouTube originated IP features an eponymous live-action host who teaches young kids about everything from jungle animals to shapes and colors. There are Blippi channels across multiple languages on YouTube, which boast in excess of 37M combined subscribers.
The series has undergone a number of evolutions in 2021. The introduction of an alternate actor for the core “Blippi” character for the YouTube show sparked a backlash among parents back in May.
The original creator, Stevin John, would be joined by Clayton Grimm, who had previously portrayed Blippi on live shows.
An animated short-form version of the series, Blippi Wonders, launched on YouTube in September.
In addition to this, Amazon Kids+ commissioned a bespoke, long-form original, Blippi’s Treehouse. This coincided with the introduction of a new character in the world of Blippi, his best friend, Meekah. Portrayed by Kaitlin Becker, Meekah features across both Amazon Kids+ and YouTube.
