Netflix has added new animated as well as live-action comedy series to its growing portfolio of kids’ content. New shows include Danger Mouse (spring 2015), Inspector Gadget (March 2015), Some Assembly Required (Summer 2015), Bottersnikes & Gumbles (spring 2016). A CGI animated series inspired by Playmobil called SUPER4 will make its US premiere in April only on Netflix.
“We’ve seen great characters and rich storytelling work for a global audience time and time again,” said Global Independent Content vice president Erik Barmack. “That’s why we’re proud to be working with some of the industry’s best producers and animators on these shows and we can’t wait for kids and families all over the world to get to know these stories.”
SUPER4 follows four characters Alex the Knight, Ruby the Pirate, Agent Gene and Twinkle the Fairy in the journey of discovering distinct islands of Earth and fight bad guys.
The dedicated section for kids is available across a broad range of devices including PCs and Macs, iPads, game consoles, streaming devices and smart TVs. Members are provided a kids profile upon sign up and can customise additional profiles for their kids. The kids experience features a character bar where you can find a selection of TV shows and movies featuring that character. Kids, parents and caregivers will also be able to scan through row after row of movies and TV shows organised by easy-to-understand genres like superheroes, princesses, dinosaurs and girl power, featuring clear and simple descriptions of the plot of each title.
