In a show for new and older kids alike, the Moomins are back as Sky releases the first trailer for Moominvalley, which will premiere on Sky One and Sky Kids this Easter.

The animated series is based on the cherished Moomin stories by Finnish-Swedish artist Tove Jansson, and will consist of 2 seasons of 13 episodes. Starring Moomintroll (Taron Egerton) and his family and friends, the series is centred around the Moominhouse and valley, an idyllic place entirely untouched by the modern world.

The beloved characters are voiced by an outstanding cast including Taron Egerton (Moomintroll), Rosamund Pike (Moominmamma), Matt Berry (Moominpappa), Bel Powley (Little My), Warwick Davis (Sniff), Joe Wilkinson (Hemulen-Male), Kate Winslet (Mrs Fillyjonk), Jennifer Saunders (Mymble) Alison Steadman (Emma the Stage Rat), Will Self (The Muskrat), Richard Ayoade (The Ghost) Akiya Henry (Snorkmaiden), Edvin Endre (Snufkin), Mayumi Kawai (Ninny), Matt Lucas (Teety-Woo), Katie Leung (Too-Ticky), Rebecca Root (Misabel), Susie Brann (Hemulen-Female), and Joe Wilkinson (Hemulen-Male).

Created by Gutsy Animations, ‘Moominvalley’ will air on Sky One, Sky Kids and NOW TV in Easter 2019 in the UK and public broadcaster YLE in Finland. The show is being created by an outstanding team, including Oscar®-winning director Steve Box (‘Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit’) and creative director Marika Makaroff.

“With their beguiling adventures, magical setting and a cast of fantastical creatures, Tove Jansson’s beautiful books have been a well-deserved family favourite for decades and we can’t wait to bring the joyous Moomin world to Sky families in this fabulous new series,” adds Lucy Murphy, head of kids content, Sky.

Moominvalley‘ Season 1 airs on Sky One & Sky Kids, Easter 2019.
