Apple TV+ Says Magic WOrds for August 9 Release Date of Yo Gabba Gabba! Reboot

 The iTunes streaming video service Apple TV+ is set to reopen its doors to the magical Nick Jr. town of Gabbaland with the reboot series of the 2007 classic Yo Gabba Gabba!, set to bow on Apple TV+ on Friday August 9th. DJ Lance and his magical mascot creations are back to razzle dazzle and go crazy for a whole new generation of old and new fans alike.

The new series (Season 5, 20 x 22-minute episodes) was first announced in September 2021, two months after following the death of hip-hop rapper Biz Markie, who did the "Biz's Beat of the Day" beatbox tutorials segment on the original series, but up until now, hasn't gotten any first looks or official release dates for the platform.

All the classic team and voice cast return for the new episodes, including Leslie Hall, art teacher Mark Mothersbaugh of DEVO who also created Rugrats for Nickelodeon and Dance A Lot Robot for Disney Channel, composer and songwriter and former Aquabats! prince Adam Deibert as Muno the tall and friendly cyclops, Emma Jacobs as Foofa the pink and happy flower bubble, Amos Waterine as Brobee the little green one monster, Erin Pearce as Toodee the cat-dragon who likes to have fun and series creator and Aquabats MC bat commander frontman Christian Jacobs as Plex the magic robot, as well as Joel Fox who plays the stupid cry baby Gooble. The new series also introduces us to DJ Lance Rock Robertson's new co-host, his son Kammy Kam, played by 12-year-old Karryn Smith.

It's currently unknown who the Dancey Dance celebrities and Super Music Friends Show artists will be for the new generation, although The Aquabats and Devo are most likely to return. It's also unknown who will be the new beatbox instructor since Markie is no longer with us.

The new YGG sequel reboot series will be dubbed to Yo Gabba Gabba!land and is the latest installment in the long line of Apple TV+ reboots of classic children's shows from decades gone by, which also includes the successful 2019 comeback of PBS Kids and CBBC's Ghostwriter and a welcome return of Jim Henson's Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock which recently premiered its second season.
