Two animated series based on best-selling books by Mo Willems are headed to Paramount+ following a deal with Hidden Pigeon Company.
Paramount+ has given the greenlight to The Elephant & Piggie Show! and The Pigeon Show! Starring The Pigeon.
“Mo Willems has delighted kids and ‘former kids’ around the world with these beloved characters,” said Jane Wiseman, head of originals for Paramount+. “Whether it’s Elephant and Piggie navigating the hard work of ‘best-friending’ or The Pigeon confusing wants and needs (a hot dog! a cookie! to drive the bus!), these characters remind us that the best stories are the ones that make us laugh and feel something real. We’re thrilled to bring them to life on Paramount+.”
Karen K. Miller, CEO of Hidden Pigeon Company, added, “We are so excited to be partnering with Paramount+ to further expand the world of Mo Willems through these two new series. We can’t wait to present more of the characters and stories that kids everywhere already know and love in ways that will surprise and delight them at every turn.”
