CAKE and BBC team up to bring Talking Tom Heroes: Suddenly Super to CBeebies

Children's entertainment company CAKE has struck a deal with the BBC for the UK broadcast of Talking Tom Heroes: Suddenly Super, the new animated series in the Talking Tom & Friends franchise, created by Outfit7.

The 52-episode series will premiere on CBeebies later this year and will feature an action-packed comedy adventure. In this new instalment, the characters Talking Tom, Angela, Ben and Hank discover a mysterious device that gives them superpowers, leading them to face big challenges on the vibrant streets of the Peak City. Throughout the story, they must learn the true meaning of being heroes, with key messages about self-discovery, friendship and humor.

Produced in collaboration with Epic Story Media and ReDefine Originals (part of the DNEG group), the series promises an exciting reinvention of the global Talking Tom & Friends brand.

Kate Morton, Head of Acquisitions and Commissioning for 0–6-year-olds at BBC Children's, expressed her enthusiasm for the addition of the series: ‘We are delighted to add Talking “Tom Heroes: Suddenly Super” to our schedule this year. We are confident that the combination of humour, heart, adventure and endearing characters will captivate our young audience’.

For his part, Dominic Gardiner, managing director of distribution at CAKE, highlighted the importance of the deal with the BBC: ‘CBeebies is a fundamental part of family life in the UK, and we are thrilled that “Talking Tom Heroes: Suddenly Super” will be added to their incredible line-up. We can't wait for kids (and their parents!) to enjoy the fun, friendship and super-powered surprises that make this series so special’.

With this new deal, the Talking Tom & Friends franchise continues to establish itself as a global favorite with children's audiences.
