The ABC has confirmed Libbie Doherty as head of children’s production after she served as acting head of children's content for the past year.
The ABC has ordered a second season of Ludo Studio's animated children's series 'Bluey', with the first instalment now the most watched show of all time on ABC iview, having racked up a staggering 75 million total program plays.
Tony Ayres identifies the primary challenge for TV content makers this year as creating work that not only makes an immediate impact but maintains quality for the whole series.
A record $718 million was spent on Australian feature films, TV dramas and online programs in 2017-18, up 7 per cent on the prior year, mostly due to a boom in co-productions.
Bluey loves to turn everyday family life into boundless playful adventures, developing her imagination as well as her mental, physical and emotional resilience.
The fourth and final series of 'Nowhere Boys', an observational documentary on teenagers who take charge of the family’s finances for a month, and an animated series about the adventures of a six-year-old cattle dog are among the highlights of the ABC’s children’s slate for 2018.
