The 52 episodes of Lalaloopsy aims to promote diversity, friendship and teamwork

MGA Entertainment has partnered with Nick Jr for a new UK TV series based on the award-winning Lalaloopsy dolls range.

The first episode aired on Tuesday, and the series is made up of 52 22 minute episodes which aims to promote diversity, friendship and teamwork.

The show has already enjoyed success in the US and was rated number one on Nickelodeon for girls aged between two and five years old, and in the top three shows on Nick Jr. for all age demographics.

Characters appearing in the UK series include Mittens Fluff ‘N’ Stuff, Bea Spells-a-Lot, Rosy Bumps ‘N’ Bruises, Jewel Sparkles, Peanut Big Top, Spot Splatter Splash, Crumbs Sugar Cookie and Dot Starlight.

“We are really excited to bring Lalaloopsy to UK TV screens and to partner with such a well-known children’s TV channel," said Andrew Laughton, managing director at MGA Entertainment.

"The US TV series has proved a storming success and we are sure our partnership in the UK will propel the Lalaloopsy brand to further new heights.”

So are they getting different episodes?

No, it's the same episodes we've gotten (and are getting) here ... we just think it's exciting that the show is getting to be seen in more places by more fans!

That's great! I know that Thomas the Tank has the same episodes aired in the UK and in the US but the voices are different. I found episodes on youtube and my son was like, "That is not how Thomas sounds!" I wonder if they will have UK actors do the voices. It would be interesting to see.

Great! Glad to hear it's popular enough to go internationally, onto UK TVs!

52 episodes will be great - that's a lot for a series like this, which I wasn't expecting such a high number of pre-purchased episodes from Nick [Jr.].

Most of my favorite series ended / cancelled at less than 20 episodes - I'm hoping this will go all the way!
(I'd just be happy with all 52 being produced and aired, but of course extra seasons would be nice.)
