These sweet new adventures will have their world premiere on Friday 10th June.

Lovely Little Farm follows sisters Jill and Jacky as they love and feed all the animals on their farm surrounded by lavender fields. Being a young farmer is not easy, but every day brings adventure and a chance to grow for these sisters. The hybrid live-action / animated series uses the latest computer-generated technology, in partnership with Industrial Light & Magic, to bring the barnyard to life.

The series was created by BAFTA winners Maddy Darrall and Billy Macqueen along with Catherine Williams, who all helped bring Teletubbies, Topsy & Tim and Waffle the Wonder Dog to screens. Darrall and Macqueen are executive producers along with lead writer Tony Cooke (PJ Masks, Waffle the Wonder Dog, Hunter Street). The lead director is two-time Directors Guild Award winner Jack Jameson (When You Wish Upon a Pickle, Waffle the Wonder Dog).

Newcomer Levi Howden plays "Jill" with Kassidi Roberts joining "Jacky," and the series also features the vocal talents of BAFTA nominee Shirley Henderson (Harry Potter franchise, Stan & Ollie) as Quackety Duck Duck, Dominique Moore (Thomas & Ollie) Friends) as Pickle Pony, SAG Award nominee Joel Fry (Cruella, Paddington 2) as Al Alpaca and Canan Yildiz-Husbands as Bif & Bop.
