Season 1 of Beat Bugs Premieres August 3rd on Netflix
Netflix, Grace: A Storytelling Company (Grace), Thunderbird and Beyond Screen Production (Beyond) announced that seven more artists have signed on to participate in Beat Bugs, the new Netflix original series for kids that will bring families together over the music of The Beatles. Writer and Director Josh Wakely also confirmed at the Netflix Television Critics Association panel that the animated show, premiering August 3, has been renewed for a second season, premiering worldwide November 18. Australian Netflix members will be able to enjoy both seasons on Netflix soon after their premiere on Seven Network. What an awesome idea for a show! I love that they are introducing our kids to The Beatles music using today’s artists. My daughter is already a big fan of Pink! and Sia so I am really looking forward to watching this show with her and enjoy some classics together.
All-star musicians join Season 2 of Beat Bugs:
Aloe Blacc, Robbie Williams, Frances and Wesley Schultz (of the Lumineers) will join the Beat Bugs family this August, adding to an already celebrated set of singing talent that will help introduce the beloved catalogue of Beatles classics to a new generation. Covers by Rod Stewart, Jennifer Hudson and Tori Kelly will be featured in Season 2 this November.
Ahead of the show’s premiere, Netflix also released its first full-length trailer for Beat Bugs, revealing the Season 1 artist and song pairings, and unveiling a new rendition of “All You Need is Love,” the show’s theme song.
