Manchester-based animation company, Hoopla Animation has confirmed that Channel 5 has greenlit a fifth series of Jason Manford’s 2D animation, Daisy & Ollie for Milkshake.

In addition, Channel 5 has also inked a five-year deal with Hoopla to air all five of the Daisy & Ollie series on Milkshake – this includes series one and two, which originally launched on Cartoonito in 2017.
