Universal Kids Halts Original Programming

NBCU-owned Universal Kids is shifting its programming strategy and will no longer make original content. The shift is to ensure the long-term viability of the channel. The US kidcaster will stay on the air and continue as a linear channel, however moving forward it will only be acquiring content and continuing its current partnership with DreamWorks Animation (also owned by NBCUniversal). Any originals that have already been commissioned will also air as scheduled, and will have full marketing support from the network. There's no confirmation on whether any of these shows would have the option of additional seasons. Some of Universal Kids’ original programming includes Top Chef Junior (two seasons have aired), American Ninja Warrior Junior (second season in production and will air in 2020), tween makeover series Get Out of My Room and live-action scripted comedy Bajillionaires, previously titled Greenfields (co-commissioned with DHX and produced by Six Eleven Media).
