Sky Kids acquires Paris & Pups
July 7, 2026



Sky Kids has announced the acquisition of Paris & Pups, a new animated children’s series inspired by media personality Paris Hilton and produced by 11:11 Media, HappyNest Entertainment and 9 Story Media Group, as part of a slate of new content releasing on all Sky Kids platforms in 2026.

Inspired by Hilton’s real-life pets, Paris & Pups follows 12-year-old Paris Star and her five pups, the Sweetie Squad, as they embark on adventures from their luxurious penthouse home, spreading joy and kindness wherever they go.


Hilton said: “I’m so excited that Paris & Pups is coming to Sky Kids. As a Sliving Mom raising two little animal lovers, this show is so special to me. Inspired by my lifelong love for my pets and their magical adventures, Paris & Pups is full of friendship, fun, sparkle, and glamazing surprises. I can’t wait for kids and families to fall in love with Paris Star and the Sweetie Squad.”

The new acquisition sits alongside a returning line-up for Sky Kids. BAFTA award-winning Sky Kids Investigates has been recommissioned for a new series, continuing to explore the stories and issues that matter most to young people. Upcoming new films include one on the recently announced social media ban, alongside another currently in production exploring the various influences of toxic masculinity on boys as they grow up.

Sky Kids will also expand its offering into curated gaming content through a new package from US-based platform Tankee, featuring family-friendly Minecraft and Roblox walkthroughs.

My Friend Maisy, BooSnoo!, The Wiggles: Ready, Steady, Wiggle! and Miffy and Friends will all return with new episodes, alongside Pip and Posy’s Christmas Countdown, a festive special from Magic Light Productions.

Ian France, Head of Sky Kids Content, commented: “Building on a strong start to 2026, including another BAFTA win for Sky Kids Investigates, we’re continuing to evolve Sky Kids with a line-up that blends global names, trusted favourites and meaningful storytelling. With over 150 original titles in our catalogue, a wonderful variety of acquired content and more launches still to come, we have a strong pipeline of content for young audiences, while continuing to play a role in supporting the wider children’s media industry. From new shows to expanded gaming content, this slate underlines our commitment to offering a rich, safe and engaging space for kids and families.”
