EPISODES OF 'MILO' AVAILABLE IN THE UNITED STATES THIS FALL VIA PBS KIDS
MILO's journey continues to add new territories. On October 1st, the hit award-winning preschool animated series produced by DeAPlaneta Entertainment and Fourth Wall will be available on PBS KIDS, the American public broadcaster, via the free PBS KIDS Channel on TV and streaming. Prior to October 1, episodes have been available to stream for free on PBS KIDS streaming platforms and are also available on the PBS KIDS Prime Video Channel.
US children will discover with the kitten that gives the series its name and his friends Lofty and Lark the wide variety of vocations that exist in the world, conveying the message that all jobs are AMAZING. In the twenty episodes from the first season that PBS KIDS will have available across platforms, Milo's curiosity about vocations leads him to become a farmer, a soccer player, a chef, a mechanic and a dancer, amongst other jobs. Adriano Schmid, VP of Content at PBS KIDS, is excited to add MILO to the broadcaster’s PBS KIDS Channel schedule: “We’re excited to continue to bring the playful, curious world of MILO to our audiences at PBS KIDS”, said Adriano Schmid, Vice President, PBS KIDS Content. “We hope that Milo’s energy, sense of wonder, and desire to explore a variety of jobs will open up a world of possibilities for kids across the country, helping them discover new interests and passions along the way”.
The new episodes on PBS KIDS consolidate MILO as a reference production in children's animation, as Diego Ibáñez Belaustegui, Chief Brand Officer at DeAPlaneta Kids & Family, points out: “When we started working on MILO, we loved the ingenuity with which he explores the world of adults and their professions. We felt that the series brought something special to the world of preschool shows. The fact that PBS - which is known for the care with which it selects content for the little ones - has championed MILO, reaffirms our idea. We are very grateful and proud that Milo's adventures can finally be enjoyed by American families”.
This satisfaction is shared by Joe Moroney, founder and CEO of Fourth Wall: “We are incredibly proud to see MILO on PBS KIDS and reach new audiences in the United States. As creators of the IP and a company based in the UK, it’s a huge honour to see Milo grow into an international brand, and we’re delighted to continue sharing Milo, Lofty and Lark’s adventures with children worldwide. We’re grateful for the collaboration with PBS KIDS, DeAPlaneta Entertainment, and all our partners, and we’re excited at the opportunity to see Milo inspire young minds across the United States”.
MILO's new episodes in the U.S. will coincide with the series' second season premiere in Europe. The show's colourful and thoughtful aesthetics, as well as the likability of its main character, have won the favour of millions of children in more than 170 countries on four continents. Its fun and enriching approach to awakening vocations has also been recognised in the industry with the award for Best Children's Series at the prestigious British Animation Awards in 2022, and with the Bronze award at the New York Festivals TV & Film Awards in the same year.
