Apple Is Rebooting ‘Yo Gabba Gabba!’ With A New Series, ‘Yo Gabba GabbaLand!’
Brobee, Foofa, Muno, Toodee, and Plex are making a comeback in the new Apple TV+ series Yo Gabba GabbaLand!, set to premiere globally on Friday, August 9.
Inspired by the Nickelodeon variety series Yo Gabba Gabba!, which ran from 2007-2015 on Nickelodeon and Nick Jr., the new variety show picks up with a similarly eclectic mix of song, dance, live-action costumed characters, and animated segments. The main characters will be joined by a new host Kammy Kam, performed by Kamryn Smith.
“It has brought everyone at Apple so much joy to reimagine this beloved children’s series in the most vibrant, magical and colorful way possible for fans of all ages,” said Tara Sorensen, head of children’s programming for Apple TV+. “The original characters, stories and music of Yo Gabba Gabba! have a truly unique quality that captured the hearts of global audiences as it taught kids about the world around them. As we expand this wonderful world with friends both old and new, alongside so many brilliant musical guests, this iconic pop cultural phenomenon will undoubtedly uplift a whole new generation.”
Ten episodes are being produced. Guest on the new series include Reggie Watts, Sam Richardson, Gillian Jacobs, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Lauren Lapkus, Chelsea Peretti, Diplo, and Flea.
Christian Jacobs and Scott Schultz, who created the original series, also created this series. Yo Gabba GabbaLand! is produced in partnership and collaboration with Wildbrain and Yo Gabba Gabba LLC, co-owners of the brand.
Jacobs and Schultz serve as executive producers for Yo Gabba Gabba LLC, alongside Josh Scherba and Stephanie Betts for Wildbrain.
