Together, they enjoy more laughter and embark on fun filled adventures, whilst celebrating Ireland’s natural environment. The series continues to explore themes of belonging, courage and friendship that, through thoughtful storytelling and positive messaging, support cognitive, social and emotional development for young audiences.

Chris O’Dowd returns as Narrator and the series is directed by Puffin Rock and the New Friends director, Jeremy Purcell. It is produced by Paul Young, Tomm Moore, Nora Twomey and John McDaid with Executive Producers Gerry Shirren and Fionnuala Deane.
