SkyShowtime reveals trailer and local voice casts for its first animated original series Hidden Islands, premiering exclusively on platform from 5 December in Northern Europe
Fun-filled trailer teases heartwarming series from creators Madeleine Bernadotte and Karini Gustafson-Teixeira
Today SkyShowtime released the enchanting trailer and announced the local voice casts for its new family adventure series Hidden Islands. Following a growing catalogue of well-received original series and documentaries, Hidden Islands marks SkyShowtime’s first foray into animation and entertainment for the whole family to enjoy, with the series premiering exclusively on the platform in Northern Europe from 5 December.
Consisting of 20 seven-minute episodes brought to life by an award-winning team with extensive experience in children’s animation, the series will have local voice casts for Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Norway and Sweden.*
Hidden Islands tells the story of three children who end up on a mythical group of islands and soon realise that this is no ordinary place: the islands are slightly out of sync with the rest of the world, and they hold a big secret - a secret that will change their lives and which could save the world! The three children must use all their wit and work together as a team with nature to find hidden clues that can help them unravel the mystery and get back home.
The series is created by duo Madeleine Bernadotte and Karini Gustafson-Teixeira, who previously co-wrote children’s book Stella and the Secret. Through Hidden Islands, the pair hope to encourage children to explore nature and connect with the outside world in an organic and meaningful way.
The animated series is produced by OYA Copenhagen, the creative studio producer behind Mia’s Magical Playground, with executive producers Camilla Hammer and Sarita Christensen. The series is directed by Peter Egeberg and written by Myles McLeod, Evgenia Golubeva, and Pelle Møller. Design by art director Julie Hauge and designer Bea Estevez. Sound design by Morten Dalsgaard. The score was composed by August Fenger, also known as ELOQ.
Hidden Islands is produced with support from The Public Service Fund in Denmark. Development financing was provided by Midnight Sun in Sweden, with production financing from OYA Copenhagen in Denmark.
Hidden Islands joins the growing library of family favourites available to stream on SkyShowtime including How to Train Your Dragon (2025), The Bad Guys 2, The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants, Paw Patrol S1-13 and Wicked: For Good.
