Teletubbies reboot’s first official trailer reveals first look at the brand new sun-baby-Robert Oliver-Entertainment – Metro

Netflix has released the trailer for its Teletubbies reboot, featuring new faces and voices from the original show. Parents, be very afraid.

The trippy children’s TV show, which was originally broadcast on the BBC between 1997 and 2001, had already been rebooted in 2015.

When that first reboot was cancelled in 2018 after four seasons, that appeared to be the end of things for the Teletubbies on TV.

But now the streaming giant has brought Tinky-Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, and Po back to our living rooms with a brand new sun-baby – the iconic image that greets viewers at the start of every single episode.

Narration for the series will be provided by Tituss Burgess, who is best known for his work as Titus Andromedon on Netflix’s Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

The series will premiere on the streaming service on November 14 as part of a group of new programmes aimed at toddlers.

Spirit Rangers, which is an animated series about three kids who defend the spirits of their native national park, aired its first episode last week.

Another series, Princess Power, which is based on US children’s novel Princesses Wear Pants, is set to begin in 2023.

The Teletubbies became a cultural phenomenon in the UK in the 1990s, with the four characters even climbing all the way to number one in the UK singles chart.

The song, entitled Teletubbies Say Eh-Oh, reached went straight in at number one as a new entry, knocking the BBC’s Children in Need cover of Lou Reed’s Perfect Day off the top.

The song stayed at number one for two weeks, selling over a million copies, and managed to stay in the UK top 100 for a massive 41 weeks.

To this day, it statistically remains one of Britain’s most popular children’s television series of all time.
