Several Canadian kids titles have been unveiled by Apple TV+ as part of its fall lineup of new content, featuring a robust kids slate targeting the space between preschool and teen.

Starting on the younger end of the spectrum, Apple disclosed details on three new series: Circuit Breakers (pictured) from Toronto’s Aircraft Pictures and Paris’s Cottonwood Media, Interrupting Chicken from Ottawa’s Mercury Filmworks, and Slumberkins from L.A.’s The Jim Henson Company

Half-hour series Circuit Breakers addresses children’s issues through a sci-fi lens and will be released on Nov. 11. Andrew Orenstein produces the series, along with Cottonwood Media’s Sarah Haasz, David Michel and Cécile Lauritano, and Aircraft Pictures’ Anthony Leo, Andrew Rosen, and Todd Berger.

Meanwhile, animated preschool series Interrupting Chicken is based on David Ezra Stein’s book series and about a curious chicken who has the habit of interrupting stories and imagining the details of them. Ron Holsey serves as executive producer, in collaboration with Mercury Filmworks. The series will be released on Nov. 18.

CG animation and puppet series Slumberkins is based on the kids’ emotional learning brand of the same name. It focuses on some of the issues that children face such as change, self-confidence, bullying and uncertainty. Henson CEO and president Lisa Henson and the company’s head of television Halle Stanford are the executive producers of the show, which will premiere on Nov. 4.

Kicking off the fall season with a first wave of programming through September and early October is the previously-announced Sago Mini Friends from Toronto’s Spin Master Entertainment on the younger-kids side, plus the return of a wave of bridge and tween series including Canadian-produced titles Ghostwriter (Sinking Ship Entertainment, Sesame Workshop); Get Rolling with Otis (9 Story Media Group, Brown Bag Films) and musical Hello, Jack! The Kindness Show (9 Story Media Group, Brown Bag Films, Jax Media).
