Long-form animated special will debut in the UK on September 17 followed by a global roll out.
Novel Entertainment is debuting its new long-form animated special Horrid Henry’s Gross Day Out on Netflix in the UK on September 17.
Netflix has also taken worldwide VOD rights for the 65’ action-adventure film which will roll out globally later this year.
The new Netflix Branded Original follows the successful launch of animated special Horrid Henry’s Wild Weekend on Netflix UK in June this year.
“We are thrilled by Netflix’s continued support of Horrid Henry who has a legion of fans both in the UK and internationally,” said Mike Watts, co-founder of Novel Entertainment. “We look forward to showcasing Henry in this longer-form content which enables us to expand his world and adventures even more. This is the first in a series of one-hour Horrid Henry specials.”
In addition to the new animated specials, Novel Entertainment has a raft of newly created content output, produced under the banner of Horrid Henry Unlocked and designed to offer a familiar and reassuring environment for fans, especially during the current crisis.
Alongside a recently launched Horrid Henry podcast, new material produced since the start of the pandemic includes Horrid Homework, a programme of daily activities for children available free on Henry’s website, and more than 150 freshly created songs, videos and behind the scenes content and interviews, livestreamed on Henry’s YouTube channel.
