PBS Kids Greenlights 2 More Seasons of 'Pinkalicious & Peterrific'

Pinkalicious & Peterrific will be back for a second season next year, with a third season to follow.

Based on the best-selling books by Victoria Kann, the PBS Kids series is produced by WGBH Boston and Sixteen South Studios. Geared toward encouraging kids ages 3-5 to engage in the arts and self-expression, the next two seasons promise to “delve deeper into arts education plotlines, covering areas such as music, dance and visual arts.”

“Both girls and boys love Pinkalicious & Peterrific, and we’re thrilled kids will be able to have more fun with Pinkalicious, Peter, and their friends Jasmine, Rafael, and Kendra with the new seasons,” says Dorothea Gillim, series executive producer. “Research underscores the importance of participation in the arts for children’s cognitive and emotional development, and Pinkalicious & Peterrific helps all children see creative possibilities in the world around them through engaging, charming stories and gorgeous animation.”

According to PBS, the first season of Pinkalicious & Peterrific received more than 38 million streams through PBS Kids digital platforms.

The second season will debut next spring.
