Moomintroll, Snufkin, Little My and family are back with more adventures, as series two of Sky Original Production Moominvalley launches on December 21.
Rosamund Pike, Matt Berry and Taron Egerton return as Moominmamma, Moominpappa and Moomintroll, with new guest stars for this series including Julian Barratt (The Mighty Boosh), Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Oz, Suicide Squad, Thor: The Dark World), Miriam-Teak Lee (Hamilton) and Shalom Brune-Franklin (The State, Bad Mothers, Our Girl).
Based on the original Moomin stories and artwork of Tove Jansson, series two of Moominvalley will introduce several new characters.
“Following on from our successful launch of season one of Moominvalley we’re delighted to bring more Moomin magic to Sky One and Sky Kids this Christmas,” said Lucy Murphy, head of kids content at Sky. “With new characters, magical adventures and challenges for Moomintroll, the new episodes are perfect for Moomin fans of all ages.”
Marika Makaroff, creative director and executive producer at Gutsy Animations, added: “With the first series of Moominvalley, our ambition was to realise a fresh, contemporary retelling of Tove Jansson’s beautiful and adventure-filled Moomin stories, and to introduce audiences to Moomintroll and his magical world.
“The second series is our invitation to explore this world further. It broadens the focus from Moomintroll to the whole Moomin family – viewers will meet new characters, take on new challenges and come on exciting new journeys with our hero and his friends.”
The series will broadcast on Sky One and NOW TV with the first five episodes airing over Christmas.
