The Teletubbies Are Back in a New Netflix Reboot
The bright, playful, and what some see as weird, world of the Teletubbies is back! Millennials who grew up watching the original TV show in the late 90s can now share all of the fun and nostalgia with their kiddos.
Earlier this week, Netflix released the first trailer for the preschool series, which features the same four classic characters, Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po, enjoying the magical world of Teletubbyland along with an even younger set of similar characters, the Tiddlytubbies.
Narrated by Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt star Titus Burgess, the series of 12 episodes will include plenty of educational adventures for little ones and new, original song breaks entitled “Tummy Tales” — designed to get the whole family dancing.
Despite the show’s upgraded appearance, set, and new stars, many key details call back to the original show, including the same theme song and the infamous “Sun Babies” who watch over Teletubbyland from the sky.
The new series is set to premiere on November 14. Check out the Netflix trailer here.
