Love Monster is about the “adventures of hairy hero, Love Monster, as he navigates the challenges of being the only monster in Fluffytown – a world of cute baby animals. With a lot of help from his friends, Love Monster learns to follow his heart rather than his slightly ‘over-thinky’ head, as he searches for the right thing to do. The series is based on the books by Rachel Bright.
The new animated series will be a fifty-four part series, and will begin airing in the U.K. in January 2020. The show is produced by the BBC’s CBeebies, Boat Rocker Studios, and China’s UYoung.
