Barney’s World premieres next Monday on Max, followed by Cartoon Network on 18 October, with the first episode to debut early on Barney’s YouTube channel tomorrow.
It will also be available to watch on demand on Max, Sky, Virgin and Now TV. Barney’s World is a fresh take on the beloved, iconic series that introduced the world to their favorite purple dinosaur, Barney, in 1988.
The theme song for Barney’s World is a nod to the original tune viewers know and love, but with an updated melody and lyrics.
“We are thrilled to share a modernised Barney with a new generation of kids and their families,” said Josh Silverman, Chief Franchise Officer at Mattel. “At Mattel, we are proud to empower future generations with programming such as Barney’s World and hope that audiences receive and carry with them the show’s key lessons of love for themselves and one another.”
Barney’s World is co-produced by Mattel Television Studios and Corus Entertainment’s Nelvana. It is executive produced by Michelle Mendelovitz, Josh Silverman for Mattel and by Athena Georgaklis, Doug Murphy, Mellany Welsh, and Pam Westman for Nelvana.
