With two years now under its belt, CBeebies International, operated by BBC Worldwide,has picked up several new series to beef up its programming schedule.

The channel now reaches 8.9 million homes around the world and it’s licensed three new series, all originally commissioned by CBeebies UK, including Waybuloo (100 x 20 minutes) produced by RDF Media Group’s The Foundation, Grandpa in My Pocket (26 x 12 minutes) distributed by Toronto’s Decode Enterprises and Kerwhizz (26 x 22 minutes) from Belgium’s Studio 100.

Other acquisitions rounding out the slate include the first and second seasons of Big Barn Farm (20 x 15 minutes) and three seasons of Mister Maker (60 x 20 minutes), both from RDF Kids & Family. And along with Kerwhizz, the channel has also bought puppet show Big & Small (52 x 11 minutes) from Studio 100.
