ABC Commercial has sold the out-of-this-world live-action kids’ series, Planet Lulin to Paramount for their Nickelodeon UK and Ireland platforms

Produced by Moody Street Kids and Princess Pictures, Planet Lulin is joining the Nickelodeon UK line up in January 2025 across Sky, Virgin Media, and TalkTalk Plus TV. In Ireland, the channel is available on Virgin Media Ireland, Eir TV and Sky Ireland.

Set to charm 7-12 year-olds across the UK and Ireland, the live action series is a coming-of-age story about a sparky pre-teen girl named Lulin who is going through some little green changes – that’s what happens when you have a human dad and an extra-terrestrial mum. Lulin’s dad, Ken, and her extra-terrestrial grandma, Ezme, try to help, but Lulin is the first ever human-Astoradian. No one knows what’s going to happen next; especially not with her powers! A vibrant, funny, live-action series, Planet Lulin explores universal themes of self-discovery and belonging while navigating the cosmic shifts of adolescence and growing up.

Planet Lulin launched on ABC TV in 2023 and has won over local fans with its zany, colourful sci-fi premise, earning a nomination for the Best Direction in a Children’s Series at the Australian Directors’ Guild Awards 2024.

The series also brings together a stellar creative team, created by writer Melanie Sano (Neighbours, Larry the Wonderpup) and directed by Craig Irvin (Nowhere Boys), Sarah Hickey (Crazy Fun Park) and Nina Buxton (Paper Dolls).

“We are excited to have Nickelodeon UK on board our gorgeous little series, the perfect home for heart and comedy” says Gillian Carr, MD of Moody Street Kids.

Louise Bucknole, General Manager, Kids & Family, Paramount, UK & Ireland said: “Fun and engaging with the important theme of self-discovery at its heart, Planet Lulin is a wonderful addition to our comedy line up on Nickelodeon and we’re excited to bring it to viewers in the UK and Ireland.”

“The ABC is committed to producing world-class children’s content and Planet Lulin is a wonderful example of our dedication to creative storytelling. Planet Lulin is a colourful and imaginative series that has captivated young audiences in Australia. Its quirky characters and intergalactic world have taken viewers on an out-of-this-world experience, making it a standout in the children’s television landscape,” says Karen Quinn, Manager, Content Sales, ABC Commercial. “We’re thrilled that Nickelodeon UK has recognised the show’s potential and look forward to sharing this unique Australian production with audiences across The United Kingdom and Northern Ireland”.

Planet Lulin will be available on Nickelodeon UK on Saturday, January 11 2025.
