New year, new themes: Big Bad Boo Studios is ready to open the doors of the 16 Hudson Season 3, which will be launched on major Canadian pubcasters later this year with the theme of "home". The new episodes explore what “home” means to Lili, Sam, Eddie and Amala and will be launched in French and English with top commissioners TVOKids, SRC Radio-Canada, TFO and Knowledge kids.

The hit preschool-plus series will feature a three-episode arc in which each family visits their ancestral homes. Special trips are planned to India, China and Vancouver Island. For Lili, who is unable to travel, she connects with her grandfather and virtually tours Iran.

“These are very special episodes because they speak to the heart of 16 Hudson. "Home" means so many things to so many people. Home can be a person, place or thing, and our kids explore the importance of loving their past and valuing each other in the present, ”says Shabnam Rezaei, creator of the series and showrunner. "This is a very Canadian story."

Led by Suzanne Bolch and John May, the genre-balanced writing team has once again tapped into a diverse team of creatives from various cultural backgrounds to tell authentic stories; include Leonard Chan, Taylor Annisette, and Ravi Steve Khajuria.
