Production is underway on Emma’s Dance Club, a new live-action series hosted by Emma Watkins and produced by Wooden Horse and Apricot Sea for ABC in Australia, with ABC Commercial handling international sales.
The series, set to air on ABC Kids and ABC iview in 2027, received major production investment from Screen Australia and the ABC and is financed in association with Screen NSW and the Australian Children’s Television Foundation.
Melinda Wearne, ABC’s head of children and family, called it a “delightful new narrative preschool series led by the endlessly energetic and beloved Emma Watkins and introducing an incredible emerging cast of Australian kids. The series celebrates the joys of dancing, friendship, and community. Full of optimism and enthusiasm, Emma’s Dance Club will have our audiences twirling, tapping, and twisting their daily dilemmas away.”
