ABC Commercial has sold two seasons of hit children’s musical group The Wiggles’ TV series Ready Steady Wiggle! to Sky UK for its new channel Sky Kids.
With songs and engaging stories, Ready Steady Wiggle! is perfect programming for the channel, which is curated to inspire and entertain preschoolers. 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, commented: “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.”
Luke Field, The Wiggles General Manager, added: “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.”
Ready Steady Wiggle! will be available on Sky Kids from April 7th.
