'The Dodo' Lands Unscripted Series For Netflix Kids

A new show from Group Nine’s animal-focused brand The Dodo will be the first unscripted series on Netflix Kids.

This is the second TV show coming out of Group Nine; the first was “Dodo Heroes” on Animal Planet. The first season of the show premiered in 2018. Season two just wrapped this month. 

The Netflix Kids series will be called “Izzy Bee's Koala World,” produced in association with Nomadica Films.

It follows the life of the 11-year-old Izzy Bee as she rescues and re-wilds koalas with the help of her parents on Magnetic Island, off the coast of Australia. The series will premiere on Netflix in 2020. 

The Dodo’s founder-Chief Creative Officer Izzie Lerer said the team is excited to "bring our brand’s feel-good, inspiring stories about animals to Netflix viewers worldwide."
