The show centers around Becca, a little bird with a big appetite for adventure, who loves helping her Wagtail Woods neighbors. Though she sometimes bites off more than she can chew, Becca knows that with her friends Russell, Sylvia and Pedro by her side, nothing is impossible. Thinking on their feet, Becca and her Bunch will urge kids to never give up, aim high and have big ideas—because once they do, like Becca, every day will become an adventure.
"Becca's Bunch is our most ambitious preschool series yet, taking years to develop and get just right for preschoolers around the globe," said JAM Media CEO, John Rice. "We could not be more excited to bring this truly extraordinary series to the US. We're sure American preschoolers will fall in love with Becca and her bunch, just as they have already in the UK."
Nickelodeon has secured exclusive broadcast rights to the series in the US and pay-TV rights for the rest of the world. Becca's Bunch premiered on Nick Jr.'s international channels and platforms in July.
