Sky Kids - Ready Eddie Go!
A BAFTA-nominated children's animated series created by Hocus Pocus Studio for Sky Kids - two series, 52 episodes, and now selling to broadcasters around the world.
Ready Eddie Go! is the original IP that put Hocus Pocus Studio on the map as a children's content creator. Commissioned by Sky Kids, the series follows Eddie - a kind, giggly, brilliantly imaginative little boy who also happens to be autistic. Whatever the day has in store, Eddie likes to know what's coming. The show walks him and his pals through life's adventures - Easter egg hunts, train journeys, trips to the dentist - step by step, with plenty of warmth and playful energy along the way.
The series was created by James Murphy and Nikki Saunders and received a BAFTA nomination, a testament to the quality of the storytelling, the craft of the production, and the genuine need the show meets for children and families.
Two series and 52 episodes later, Ready Eddie Go! is now selling internationally - reaching audiences in the UK, Ireland, Australia, Canada, Germany, Spain, Italy, Finland, Czechia, Estonia, Greece, Türkiye and across the Middle East and North Africa.
The visual world is distinctive: colourful, tactile, and full of personality, with clear graphical signposts that help younger viewers follow each activity stage by stage. The animation, music and sound design all serve the same purpose - energetic and fun, but always easy to follow.
