Sky Kids brings beloved book character to life with new Sky Original series My Friend Maisy

10/06/2025

Tuesday 10 June 2025

Sky Kids has commissioned My Friend Maisy, a brand-new 2D animated preschool series, from BBC Studios and Trustbridge Entertainment, based on the bestselling books by Lucy Cousins, which have sold over 46 million copies worldwide. Beloved by generations of families, Maisy now steps into the spotlight like never before.

Head writer Matilda Tristram (Peppa Pig), helps bring the series to life, following Maisy and her friends, Tallulah, Eddie, Charley and Cyril, on imaginative, joy-filled adventures. From flying a rocket to the moon and sliding down rainbows, to fixing cars in her garage and meeting stripey zebras, Maisy shows that with curiosity and kindness, anything is possible. Each episode bursts with inventive surprises and playful lift the flap moments designed to delight preschool audiences.

For decades, the Maisy books have captivated children with their endearing characters, charming, simple tales and vibrant art style. Like the popular books, the new series is full of vibrant colour, engaging stories and Lucy Cousins' cheeky characters. My Friend Maisy is a show for any time of day - before bed or during family together time on the couch.

Maisy is such a loved classic book character and we're so excited to be working with BBC Studios, Trustbridge Entertainment and Lucy Cousins to bring her to life in a contemporary way for Sky Kids families. With a real sense of joy in every episode, My Friend Maisy is the perfect blend of fun and adventure for young viewers said Lucy Murphy, Director of Kids Content at Sky.

Managing Director of BBC Studios Kids & Family, Cecilia Persson, says: This vibrant new series embraces the legacy of Lucy Cousins' books with their bold illustrations, quirky humour and charm while pushing the boundaries of classic preschool storytelling, inviting children to enjoy Maisy like never before.

My Friend Maisy is co-produced by BBC Studios Kids & Family Productions and Trustbridge Entertainment, with animation created by A Productions and Karrot in collaboration.

My Friend Maisy was commissioned by Lucy Murphy, Director of Kids Content at Sky for C cile Frot-Coutaz, CEO of Sky Studios & Chief Content Officer for Sky. The Commissioning Editor for Sky is Ian France.

My Friend Maisy will premiere on Sky Kids in 2026
