Nostalgia Is AWESOOOOOOME!!!! - iTunes AppleTV+ to Revive Nick Jr's Yo Gabba Gabba

DHX Media, Apple and WildBrain announced the razzle dazzle news that it would be reviving the classic Nick Jr. 2007 series Yo Gabba Gabba! for a whole new generation of kids which has been picked up for a new 20-episode fifth season.

The series' creators Christian Jacobs (The Aquabats) and Scott Schultz and presenter Lance Robertson are on board to join the dance party and bring this beloved show back to life for the modern generation.

If possible, all the other well-known stars including the voice cast of composer/songwriter Adam Deibert (The Aquabats) as Muno, Emma Jacobs as Foofa, Amos Waterine as Brobee and Erin Pearce as Toodee and regular celebrities Leslee Hall and Mark Mothersbaugh (Rugrats, All Grown Up!) will also be presented and accounted for. However, this unfortunately means that they will have to find a new hip hop rapper to do the "Beat of the Day" beatbox sketches since Biz Markie died two months ago.

It is currently unknown what Dancey Dance or Super Music Friends Show celebrities will be taking part in the new episodes.

Apple TV+ is slated to bow the new series on Friday October 29th

The original series aired across Nickelodeon, Nick Jr and Noggin between August 2007 and November 2015 and included a multitude of guest stars and music performances including The Little Ones, GoGo13, Lady Tigra, Mos Def, The Aggrolites and legends Solange Knowles, The Roots, Jack Black and Weird Al Yankovic among others.

Success led to being dubbed in over 45 languages, a merchandise deal, seven mobile videogames and a five-year-running concert tour.

Yo Gabba Gabba! (86 x 22-minute episodes) is a The Magic Store/DHX Media production for Nickelodeon and Apple Inc. in association with WildBrain Entertainment.
