eOne’s new series Alien TV prepares to land on Netflix

New series follows slapstick misadventures of an extra-terrestrial TV news crew as they try to understand life on Earth.

eOne is gearing up for the landing of its new hybrid animated series, Alien TV.

The series – which has been co-produced by the company and POP Family Entertainment, in collaboration with Netflix for global release – will hit the streaming platform, plus Australia’s free to air Nine Network, this month.

Launching with 26, half hour episodes, the series is targeted at 6-11 year olds and follows the slapstick misadventures of an extra-terrestrial television news crew as they try to understand life on Earth.

It combines real-world imagery with high-end CGI animation, and sees the news crew land on Earth to ‘unravel the mysteries’ of the strange new world and report back to their curious alien audience.

“Our new show, Alien TV, takes recognisable situations and transforms them into side-splittingly hilarious visual gags that have an instant and universal appeal for both kids and parents,” said eOne’s Olivier Dumont, president, Family Brands. “Alien TV demonstrates our ongoing commitment to bringing audiences high-quality, original kids programming on the very best platforms and we really believe it has the potential to be a big hit when it debuts this summer.”

Carmel Travers, ceo at POP Family Entertainment and producer of Alien TV, added: “Alien TV is a great example of what international co-productions are all about. I am thrilled that through Netflix and Nine, this irreverent comedy will be beamed worldwide giving audiences everywhere a funny look at the world – as ‘aliens’ might see us.”
