The third series of Moominvalley will air on Sky One, streaming service NOW TV, the Sky Kids app and on demand in the UK and Ireland in 2021/2022.

It was commissioned for Sky by Lucy Murphy, director of kids content at Sky.

“Moominvalley’s third season focus on community feels particularly timely, and we are proud to be honouring Tove’s legacy of creating stories that reinforce positivity and togetherness in trying times,” said Marika Makaroff, creative director and executive producer of the Moominvalley series. “We’re grateful to our fantastic partners Yle and Sky which have allowed us to continue to explore and celebrate the community of Moominvalley.”
