BBC announces smash-hit children’s series will RETURN – 19 years after last ever episode for ‘new generation’
IN an exciting announcement for both children and parents, the BBC has confirmed that beloved kids’ show Balamory is set to make a comeback.
The fictional town of Balamory charmed audiences in the early 2000s.
Now it is set to return to screens for a brand new series on CBeebies, which will start airing in 2026.
The reboot will bring back the charming stories of everyday life in a small Scottish town.
Filming will once again take place in Scotland, but the location has not been confirmed yet.
While the original site in Tobermoray remains a strong contender, other scenic spots like Rothesay may also be considered.
This return is sure to stir up feelings of nostalgia among parents who grew up watching the show, as they now get to share the joy of Balamory with their own children.
Originally airing from 2002 to 2005, the series was a colourful staple of children’s television in the UK.
Balamory was known for its vibrant houses and quirky characters like Miss Hoolie and Suzie Sweet.
The reboot is likely to feature some of the show’s old favourites, alongside some new faces – but the cast has not been revealed yet.
Kate Morton, Head of Commissioning for BBC Children’s and Education, expressed her enthusiasm for the show’s return, saying: “A whole new generation will discover and enjoy Balamory as we bring families together with this new update for CBeebies.
“It will be a real treat for parents who grew up with the show to now introduce their little ones to the brightly coloured world getting to know a host of old and new characters together.”
