Sky Kids unveils new slate for 2026 including Paris Hilton's animated series, Paris & Pups
Sky Kids has today announced the acquisition of Paris & Pups, a brand-new animated children's series inspired by global icon Paris Hilton and produced by 11:11 Media, HappyNest Entertainment and 9 Story Media Group, as part of a slate of new content releasing on all Sky Kids platforms in 2026.
Inspired by Paris Hilton's real-life pets, Paris & Pups follows 12-year-old Paris Star and her five adorable pups, the Sweetie Squad, as they embark on adventures from their luxurious penthouse home, spreading joy, kindness and friendship wherever they go.
Paris Hilton said: I'm so excited that Paris & Pups is coming to Sky Kids! As a Sliving Mom raising two little animal lovers, this show is so special to me. Inspired by my lifelong love for my pets and their magical adventures, Paris & Pups is full of friendship, fun, sparkle, and glamazing surprises. I can't wait for kids and families to fall in love with Paris Star and the Sweetie Squad.
The new acquisition sits alongside a strong returning line-up for Sky Kids. BAFTA award-winning Sky Kids Investigates has been recommissioned for a new series, continuing to explore the stories and issues that matter most to young people. Upcoming new films include one on the recently announced social media ban, alongside another currently in production exploring the various influences of toxic masculinity on boys as they grow up.
Sky Kids will also expand its offering into curated gaming content through a new package from US-based platform Tankee, featuring safe, curated, and family-friendly Minecraft and Roblox walkthroughs.
My Friend Maisy, The Wiggles: Ready, Steady, Wiggle! and Miffy and Friends will all return with brand new episodes. Later in the year, calming sensory series BooSnoo!, which follows a little red ball on imaginative journeys, will also return, alongside Pip and Posy's Christmas Countdown, a festive special from Magic Light Productions.
The announcement comes just ahead of The Children's Media Conference 2026, taking place in Sheffield from 7-9 July, where Head of Sky Kids Content, Ian France, will talk alongside industry experts on the importance of quality children's programming.
Ian France, Head of Sky Kids Content, said: Building on a strong start to 2026, including another BAFTA win for Sky Kids Investigates, we're continuing to evolve Sky Kids with a line-up that blends global names, trusted favourites and meaningful storytelling.
With over 150 original titles in our catalogue, a wonderful variety of acquired content and more launches still to come, we have a strong pipeline of content for young audiences, while continuing to play a role in supporting the wider children's media industry. From new shows to expanded gaming content, this slate underlines our commitment to offering a rich, safe and engaging space for kids and families.
All upcoming content will be available on Sky Kids and streaming service NOW in 2026.
