Gen-X and Millennials rejoice!
“We know it was a tough pandemic for parents, for caregivers, for teachers,” creative director Amy Guglielmo told CBS News. “We wanted to make sure that we have kids engaging with books and we’re going to use movement and music to engage kids in learning. And we really want kids to see themselves in the books that we’re choosing, and we’re going to use diverse creators, authors, illustrators, settings.
The new version of the show will follow a similar format to the original, with 25-minute episodes that use music, field trips, cultural explorations, and the book of the day to educate young viewers about themed topics. The new show will also include an “interactive virtual platform,” but there aren’t too many details yet about what that will entail. The new group of hosts will be called “The Rainbows,” and the cast is expected to be announced sometime in the coming weeks.
“We think the rainbow, this fun and diverse ensemble cast, will allow children to just identify with these hosts, and it’s just a totally new experience and it’s truly an experience,” Guglielmo said, adding that creators “really want kids and viewers to see themselves on this show.”
