The shows include: “Cirque du Soleil – Luna Petunia,” “Edgar Rice Burroughs Tarzan and Jane,” “Kulipari: An Army of Frogs,” and “Puffin Rock.”
“Puffin Rock” will debut this fall, while the rest will be available in 2016.
Each show will launch all of its episodes at the same time around the world.
In addition to its original titles, Netflix is also adding three new first-run exclusive series for kids. The Russian series “Masha and the Bear” will premiere in the US this August and the Canadian series “The Day My Butt Went Pyscho” will debut this month to UK, US, and Mexican audiences. The Norwegian series “Elias” is already streaming in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.
The company has a section for kids under 12 that features original series as well as TV shows and movies from partners including PBS, the Disney Channel, and Mattel.
