Exclusive First Look: ‘Badjelly’ Is Ready to Cast Its Spell on MIPCOM with New BTS Peek from WildBrain

We are delighted to share with you the First Look of ‘Badjelly’ ahead of it being shared at MIPCOM with New BTS Peek from WildBrain

Based on the beloved kids’ book, Badjelly the Witch: A Fairy Story, by renowned comedian Spike Milligan, Badjelly delivers a fresh take on this classic for today’s kids, all while preserving the crazy humour, bizarre situations and quirky characters from the original tale.

Renowned BAFTA-winning stage and screen actor Miriam Margolyes OBE (Harry Potter, Hilda, Doctor Who) stars as the voice of the enigmatic Badjelly, alongside Rhys Darby (Trolls, Jumanji: The Next Level, Carmen Sandiego) as the mischievous Binklebonk, Ava Diakhaby (Shortland Street) as the charming and brave Rose, and rising star Malachi Hall (The Flatshare) as the fearless Tim. The series also features a sweeping original orchestral score composed by Emmy Award-nominee Guy Michelmore (Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes).

Commissioned by New Zealand’s TVNZ and WildBrain Television’s Family Channel in Canada, Badjelly is produced by New Zealand’s Mukpuddy Animation, Canada’s Sphere Animation and the UK’s Cantilever Media in association with Te Puna Kairangi Premium Productions for International Audiences Fund, NZ On Air and UK Global Screen Fund. ABC Australia has also acquired the series for their platforms.
