If you thought the age of Teletubbies ended in 2001, you were wrong. The iconic kids’ TV show is relaunching in the US starting on May 30th at 8am Eastern/Pacific on Nick Jr. with daily premiers every weekday in June.
Kids will see the return of original characters like Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po, but this time the critters will be donning a cyborg-esque new look. They’ll have touch screen tummies which will broadcast live-action short films shot from a kid’s perspective, plus you’ll see the incorporation of new gadgets like a Tubby Phone Smartphone and a Tubby Custard Ride (no details on that one yet).
