Some of television’s most beloved (and reviled) children’s characters are headed to streaming. The first trailer for Netflix’s upcoming “Teletubbies” revival series has been released, promising a return to the long-running franchise’s bizarre world.
First created in 1997 by Anne Wood and Andrew Davenport, “Teletubbies” is a British children’s show aimed at toddlers. Named after the main characters — a bizarre quartet of multi-colored, toddler-like creatures with antennae on their heads and television screens on their bellies — the show follows them exploring and playing in the grassy landscape they call home. The original show ran for five seasons and over 300 episodes and developed a global following thanks to syndication in over 120 countries. Even outside of its target demographic, the show quickly became famous for its surreal tone and character designs, and attracted sometimes bizarre controversy — such as when televangelist Jerry Falwell accused one of the Teletubbies, Tinky Winky,...

As Hollywood basks in the streaming boom and the burgeoning era of premium television, kids, too, get to join in on the fun.
Unlike the Disney Channel and Nickelodeon multi-cam sitcoms that have dominated kids’ TV for decades, newer streaming series like Apple TV+’s “Puppy Place” and “Lovely Little Farm” function more like family dramedies. Avoiding that type of slapstick humor and over-accessorized costumes and sets, these series opt for a more naturalistic approach, oftentimes with serialized storytelling.
“Puppy Place” showrunner Andrew Green, who previously served as a co-executive producer on “Hannah Montana,” tells Variety: “Having worked in kids’ television for so long, you develop a certain rhythm, and Apple was like, ‘Let’s take a step back. Don’t think of it as a kids’ show, just think of it as a quality show that happens to have kids as the leads and stories about kids.’”

The upcoming return of the beloved children's series has found its new Sun Baby after an X Factor-style search.
18-month-old baby Berry from London beat scores of other hopefuls to take over the iconic role made famous by 19-year-old dance student Jess Smith.
Jess waved goodbye to the role she played as a baby in the 1990s by passing on the torch to Berry.
"When I was growing up I was always so proud of my involvement in Teletubbies," she said. "Having met baby Berry and seeing how adorable she is I can't think of anyone better to take over the role."
Teletubbies producer Maddy Darrall said of Berry's casting: "As soon as we met baby Berry, we knew she was our perfect Sun Baby. A lot of babies smile but Berry is a unique giggly smiler who we know will make our tv audience smile too.
