Roundups #42: Pablo Renewed For A Third Season On CBeebies, When Billie Met Lisa Begins Streaming On Disney+ And Peacock Working On Live-Action Series For Casper Scare School

Pablo continues on CBeebies

BBC Children’s has greenlit a third season of CBeebies animated series Pablo, which has a new look and narrative focus to resonate with all kid viewers, not just those on the autism spectrum.

The 52 x 11-minute season finds its titular star Pablo— now eight years old—heading off to school. (He was five at the end of season two.) Pablo’s older age will be reflected in the series’ animation style, which has moved away from a flat 2D look with the addition of mixed-media elements including 3D animation and photo-real textures.

 
 

Development of the third season was funded by BBC Children’s, NI Screen and CAKE, Pablo‘s international distributor.

Billie Eilish makes an appearance on The Simpsons

Billie Eilish and Finneas will star in a new Simpsons short on Disney+. The short, called “When Billie Met Lisa,” will premiere on Friday, April 22.

A press release provides the following description of the short episode:

In “When Billie Met Lisa,” Lisa Simpson is discovered by chart-topping artists Billie Eilish and Finneas while searching for a quiet place to practice her saxophone. Billie invites Lisa to her studio for a special jam session she’ll never forget.

 

The Weeknd was recently featured on a new episode of The Simpsons called “Bart the Cool Kid.”

 

Casper is coming to Peacock

Casper the Friendly Ghost is coming back to television in a brand new incarnation reminiscent of Riverdale ‘s darker interpretation of the Archie comics. Peacock is developing Casper, a live-action, horror/adventure series, which reimagines the origin of Casper in a coming-of-age story that explores what it means to be alive.

Set in high school, Casper is written/executive produced by The Ghost Bride head writer Kai Yu Wu. In it, when a new family arrives in the small town of Eternal Falls, Casper finds himself entangled in a mystery uncovering dark secrets that have been buried for over 100 years.
