BBC Studios has announced a brand-new series set in the Go Jetters universe, partnering with Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority on Go Jetters Go!
The first spin-off of the preschool franchise is set on the island nation. It was first conceptualized as a short-form production, expanding into a full series following development and commissioning by BBC Children’s and Education for CBeebies, with the support of IMDA and BBC Studios.
U.K.-based Brighton Zoo Animation is handling production, having worked on seasons two and three of Go Jetters. In addition to featuring Singaporean voice talent, the show is being guided by Singaporean media consultant Leslie Lee, and Singaporean writers Lisa Teh and Debra Chong have joined the U.K.-based writing team.
Cecilia Persson, managing director for BBC Studios Kids & Family, said: “We’re thrilled to be working with IMDA on Go Jetters Go! This partnership allows us to bring a fresh perspective to a much-loved brand, while celebrating Singapore’s culture and global outlook.”
Yvonne Tang, assistant chief executive for the media industry group at IMDA, added, “We’re excited to partner with BBC Studios to expand the well-loved Go Jetters universe with Go Jetters Go!. As the first spin-off of a successful children’s series to be set in Singapore, the show puts our local culture and creativity on an international stage and brings Singapore stories to children and families around the world. It also celebrates our homegrown talent, who are contributing their distinctive voices and perspectives, and helps strengthen the creative capability of our media industry in Singapore.”
Kate Morton, senior head of commissioning at BBC Children’s and Education for CBeebies, said: “This is an international collaboration with universal impact for audiences across the globe. The return of this much-loved brand is brilliant news for CBeebies viewers and demonstrates the power of animation to unite to overcome this challenging time for children’s television worldwide.”
The series is slated for U.K. and Singapore launches in Q4 of this year or Q1 2027. BBC Studios Kids & Family is handing global rights.
