BBC Studios will launch two new free, ad-supported kids streaming platforms via Pluto TV in the US, starting today.

The deal will see BBC Studios’ first-ever, child-focused ad-supported channels—BBC Kids and Spanish-language Ninos por BBC—stream more than 450 hours on Pluto TV.

Titles available include, Sarah & Duck (pictured), Andy’s Prehistoric Adventures, Andy’s Wild Adventures, Dinopaws, and Mr. Bloom’s Nursery.

Pluto TV has been stocking up on new content since its parent company ViacomCBS Networks International (VCNI) acquired a majority stake in Fox TeleColombia and Estudios TeleMéxico to grow the company’s Spanish-language content. VCNI has also been building Pluto’s distribution reach, teaming up and Nordic Entertainment Group to launch the platform across Sweden, Denmark and Norway this year.
