CBC Kids has commissioned a second season of 2D-animated series Jeremy and Jazzy, produced by Toronto-based Vérité Films. 

Aimed at three- to seven-year-olds, the 55 x two-minute show is “composed” of musical shorts that explore various ways music is intertwined with daily life, and how feelings can turn into songs.

The new season will launch on the Canadian public broadcaster and its CBC Gem streaming platform later this year.

This renewal comes hot on the heels of Jeremy and Jazzy‘s UK debut this weekend on Tiny POP and POP Player. It premiered on the CBC last fall and stars Canadian musicians Jeremy Fisher and Aiza Ntibarikure voicing the lead characters. Canada’s Bejuba! Entertainment and Vérité Films International are distributing the series worldwide, and its music has been released by domestic labels Hidden Pony Records and Universal Music Canada.

Fisher, who is the co-creator and executive producer of Jeremy and Jazzy, wrote and composed the multi-genre soundtrack, which earned a nomination for Children’s Album of the Year at the 2023 Juno Awards. According to Vérité, plans are in the works to extend the brand with touring shows, books and branded educational resources.
