Amazon has ordered three new original kids series, including Sinking Ship Entertainment’s Dino Dana, as well as a half-hour special, to debt on its Prime Video platform.

Along with Dino Canada, Amazon also greenlit The Kicks, Lost in Oz and the special Shaun the Sheep: The Farmer’s Llamas. All three series targeting kids six to 11 will be made available for Prime members in the U.S., U.K., Germany and Austria in 2016, while Shaun the Sheep: The Farmer’s Llamas is slated to make its worldwide debut on Prime in the U.S. on Nov. 13.

Created and directed by J.J. Johnson (Dino Dan, Annedroids), Dino Dana is a follow-up to the 2015 Emmy award-winning series Dino Dan. The series is produced by Sinking Ship Entertainment partners J.J. Johnson, Blair Powers and Matthew Bishop, co-executive produced by Christin Simms (Dino Dan) and written by Johnson and Simms.

Live actioner The Kicks, stars a young female soccer star who is uprooted to California midway through the school year and has to rise to the challenge after finding out her new team has been on a lengthy losing streak. Based on a book series by U.S. Olympic gold medalist and current U.S. Women’s National Team soccer player Alex Morgan, the project is executive produced by Full Fathom Five’s novelist James Frey (I Am Number Four) and Todd Cohen (Lumen), as well as Andrew Orenstein (Malcolm in the Middle).

Rounding out the trio of new series is animated action-adventure comedy, Lost in Oz. The series is set in the modern metropolitan Emerald City, where 12-year-old Dorothy Gale befriends the street-smart witch West and giant munchkin Ojo. Lost in Oz is developed and produced by Bureau of Magic’s Mark Warshaw, Darin Mark, Jared Mark, and Abram Makowka (East Los High, Smallville).

Finally, in Shaun the Sheep: The Farmer’s Llamas, Shaun accompanies the Farmer and Bitzer to a country fair, where he cleverly convinces the Farmer to buy three exotic llamas. The Aardman Animations special is written by Lee Pressman (Peter Rabbit), Richard Starzak (Shaun the Sheep) and Nick Vincent Murphy (Moone Boy), directed by Jay Grace (Shaun the Sheep, Creature Comforts) and produced by Paul Kewley and John Woolley (Shaun the Sheep).
