Kids’ entertainment specialist CAKE has licensed the latest season of its New Zealand stop motion series Kiri and Lou to Nickelodeon, to air on the Nick Jr. channel in 2024. Kiri and Lou launched in the U.S. on the Nick Jr. channel in June 2022 and the second season brings the total number of episodes to 104 x 5’.
