CBeebies revives Balamory
September 17, 2024
The pastel-hued, fictional town of Balamory is set to return to screens, BBC Children’s and Education has announced.
Commissioned for two new seasons on CBeebies, families will be able to enjoy the home-grown storytelling about the celebrated nursery school from 2026 and will once again be filmed in Scotland, whether in original location Tobermory or other Scottish location such as Rothesay.
Originally produced between 2002 until 2005, over two decades later the show will receive a revamp. Exact details of the reboot will be developed and is set to be inspired by the original favourite.
Kate Morton, Head of Commissioning 0-6 for BBC Children’s and Education, commented: “A whole new generation will discover and enjoy Balamory as we bring families together with this new update for CBeebies. It will be a real treat for parents who grew up with the show to now introduce their little ones to the brightly coloured world getting to know a host of old and new characters together.”
BBC Children’s and Education are interested in ideas from producers where some of the original characters will be included in the series alongside a host of new faces for preschoolers to get to know.
The two seasons will consist of 10 x 14’ episodes each.
