Netflix Adds Seven New Original Series For Older Kids Bringing Its Global Original Line Up To More Than 35 Series For Kids Of All Ages

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Oct. 1, 2015 — (PRNewswire) —  After recently announcing a slate of original series for the pre-school audience, Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX), the world's leading Internet TV network, will add seven new original series for older kids beginning this December. Building on its partnerships with globally respected brands, Netflix will launch all new stories from LEGO® Bionicle® and LEGO® Friends and the world's first family is back and funnier than ever in DreamWorks Animation's all-new original family sitcom, Dawn of the Croods.

Netflix is also broadening its offering for tweens and teens; the live action show Lost & Found Music Studios shows us how the next hit song could be just one heartbreak away, while fans of fast and funny will find the stop-motion, action-comedy of Buddy Thunderstruck right up their alley...or race-obsessed Greasepit in this case. The anime inspired Glitter Force joins the growing portfolio of strong girl characters on Netflix. And finally, Netflix is introducing its first ever original animated series produced in Latin America. Las Leyendas (The Legends) is based on a successful trilogy of children's films from the Mexican animation studio, Anima Estudios.

"Roughly half of our 65 million members around the world regularly watch kids content and with the addition of these seven diverse original series we are continuing our strong investment in kids programming," said Andy Yeatman, Director of Global Kids Content for Netflix. "We know kids love Netflix and that's in part because they never really outgrow us. We program and recommend new TV shows and movies from preschool through their teen years and into adulthood."

Details on each show can be found below:
