Under the deal, Sky Kids has acquired rights for season three of Oddbods’ long-form series as well as its seasonal special The Festive Menace.

Its children’s series Oddbods is a non-dialogue comedy that features seven main characters as they navigate their day-to-day lives.
“This deal marks the first time we’re teaming up with Sky Kids and we’re confident Sky Kids will make the perfect new UK home for Oddbods’ latest season,” said Michele Schofield, SVP, Content Distribution at One Animation. “Oddbods fills a need for kids and their family to be entertained and laugh together at the funny events arising from everyday situations.
“We can’t wait to see Sky Kids’ audience enjoy adventures with the Oddbods gang over the festive season and beyond.”
