The topic of this page has a wiki of its own: Floogals Wiki.


Floogals is a British live-action/animated television series aimed at preschoolers, produced by Nevision Studios, Jellyfish Pictures and Zodiak Kids, with concepts from Absolutely Cuckoo. Sprout, in the United States, commissioned the series and also participated in the production. The series was developed by Ceri Barnes, Lee Walters, Nigel Pickard and Rick Gitelson, from an original idea by Dan Good (who created Waybuloo). Production took place in London during 2014 and 2015 with all CGI animation by Jellyfish Pictures. The series was first broadcast in the United States as a "Sprout original series," and series 2 and 3 have been subsequently commissioned.

History on Sprout

After being announced by Sprout president Sandy Wax in 2013[1] and put into production the following year in 2014,[2] the show joined Sprout on January 23rd, 2016, airing at 8AM and 8PM ET, and a marathon of episodes called Floog-a-Palooza aired not long after. It survived the launch of Universal Kids on September 9th, 2017. The Please Touch Museum has been "taken over" by the Floogals on April 23rd and 24th.[3]

However, it stopped airing shortly after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in summer 2020, although it still had a presence on the channel's website, and re-aired on December 24th and 25th, 2022. It returned to the channel's schedule sometime in 2023. Ironically it was the last show to air before Universal Kids ceased operations.
