The BEAT BUGS are Coming!
I can hardly contain my excitement to share the news of the just announced addition to the kids programming slate on Netflix. Starting August 2016, families around the world can come together with BEAT BUGS! I am sharing this news that the Beat Bugs are coming to Netflix with you as members of the Netflix StreamTeam, all opinions are my own.
BEAT BUGS, inspired by music from The Beatles, incorporates songs from the Lennon/McCartney ‘Northern Songs’ catalogue, to tell uplifting and life-affirming stories filled with hope and melody. World-leading artists, animators and writers have come together to work on this extraordinary show and it’ll be your next family favorite! The Beat Bugs are charming, funny, adventurous, and have a knack for getting themselves into mischief and mayhem. Each of the five friends (Jay, Kumi, Crick, Buzz, and Walter) has a distinctive personality, and they display the charm and energy of five knockabout, lovable kids. They are best friends who band together to explore and learn in an overgrown suburban backyard, which to them is their entire universe.
The animated Beat Bugs show will feature some of the most well-known Beatles songs woven into the narrative of each episode, with with Eddie Vedder, P!nk, James Bay, Sia, The Shins, Of Monsters and Men, Chris Cornell, Regina Spektor, James Corden, and Birdy each recording their rendition of an iconic song. Now THAT’S a kids show that even I can love!
