Get ready to join Milo and his friends for even more exciting adventures, because the beloved preschool kitten is preparing for a rather extraordinary new chapter filled with new faces, stories and plenty of opportunities for young audiences to explore the world around them.
When it comes to the world of preschool entertainment, there is something particularly special about stories that encourage young children to discover new interests and learn about the many different people who help make our communities work. From exploring familiar professions to imagining what they might want to be when they grow up, the possibilities for learning through play are nearly endless. And for young audiences who have spent time following the adventures of Milo, that spirit of discovery has always been at the heart of the beloved animated series.
Now, as the popular preschool property continues to expand its presence around the world, DeAPlaneta Entertainment is preparing to introduce an exciting new chapter for the franchise, bringing together an all-new season, new characters, expanded storytelling experiences and even more ways for families to enjoy the world of Milo and his friends.
That’s right, Milo is getting ready for a big year in 2027, with the arrival of its third season alongside a growing collection of new entertainment experiences that will bring the beloved characters beyond the television screen.
And this time, there are some new faces joining the fun!
For those unfamiliar with the series, Milo follows the adventures of an energetic young kitten and his friends Lofty and Lark as they explore the many different jobs and professions found throughout the world. From learning about the responsibilities that come with different careers to discovering how people contribute to their communities, each adventure offers young viewers an opportunity to explore new possibilities while celebrating the idea that every job has something special to offer.
Since making its debut in 2021 on the United Kingdom’s Milkshake! preschool programming block, the series has continued to find audiences around the world, expanding into more than 170 countries across four continents. And with its arrival on PBS KIDS in the United States in fall 2024, even more young viewers have had the opportunity to discover Milo’s colorful world and the many adventures waiting for him.
Now, with the third season officially on the way, the world of Milotown is getting ready to become even bigger.
Set to premiere in 2027, the new season will introduce 52 episodes featuring new professions, characters and songs, alongside an updated approach to storytelling that places an even greater emphasis on music and visual humor.
And perhaps one of the most exciting additions is the arrival of a brand-new member of Milo’s family.
That’s right, Milo is getting a little sister!
The upcoming season will introduce Twilo, Milo’s younger sister, whose spontaneous and mischievous personality promises to bring a whole new energy to the adventures of Milo, Lofty and Lark. With another member of the family joining the fun, there will certainly be plenty of opportunities for new stories and unexpected situations as the characters continue exploring the world around them.
But Twilo isn’t the only new character making an appearance.
Also joining the main cast is LZ Bones, an extremely lazy preteen who is always searching for the easiest way to solve whatever situation comes his way. And with his rather laid-back approach to problem-solving, it’s safe to say that the gang’s adventures might become a little more complicated than expected.
Of course, discovering new professions will remain an important part of the series, with the upcoming season introducing young viewers to careers ranging from electricians and sailors to food critics and interior designers.
And this time, music will play an even larger role in helping bring those adventures to life.
The third season will feature a renewed focus on musical storytelling, with songs woven throughout all 52 episodes as Milo and his friends continue exploring the many different possibilities that come with learning about the world of work.
The upcoming season is being developed under the creative leadership of Sascha Paladino, with Sam Barlow and Lisa Akhurst writing the scripts. Gustavo Branger and Global Music Branding will oversee music production, helping introduce a new musical approach while maintaining the familiar themes of curiosity, imagination and discovery that have helped make Milo such a recognizable preschool property.
But the excitement surrounding Milo doesn’t stop with the upcoming season.
DeAPlaneta Entertainment is also expanding the franchise beyond the screen through two new partnerships with FABA and Tappi, introducing a collection of audio storytelling experiences designed to encourage young children to listen, imagine and play.
The first of these partnerships will see Milo join FABA’s screen-free audio storytelling platform, which combines physical audio characters with stories and educational entertainment for young audiences. Through the collaboration, children will be able to enjoy new adventures inspired by Milo and his friends while using their imaginations to bring the stories to life through listening.
For families looking to introduce more screen-free activities into their children’s everyday routines, audio storytelling offers another way to encourage creativity and independent play. And with Milo already placing such a strong emphasis on exploration and learning about the world, the series is certainly a natural fit for a format that invites children to imagine the adventures unfolding around them.
Meanwhile, the new partnership with Tappi will bring the world of Milo into an interactive reading experience that combines traditional children’s books with audio entertainment.
Through Tappi’s system, children can explore physical books while listening to accompanying stories, music and games, creating an experience that brings together the enjoyment of reading with interactive elements. The collaboration will allow young fans to discover the adventures of Milo and his friends in a format that encourages them to engage with the pages in front of them while listening along.
The FABA partnership will cover Italy, Ticino, Spain and the Netherlands, while the Tappi collaboration will bring the property to audiences in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
And these new partnerships are only part of a much larger plan for the future of the franchise.
DeAPlaneta Entertainment has revealed an ambitious long-term roadmap for Milo, with plans extending more than five years into the future. Alongside the upcoming third season, the company’s vision includes four additional seasons, two feature films and a video game being developed in partnership with an international publisher.
The video game is also planned for 2027, marking another major step in bringing the world of Milo and his friends into new forms of entertainment.
And for young fans who enjoy bringing their favorite characters into their everyday playtime, there is even more on the way.
Rainbow Designs has developed a new master toy line inspired by Milo, with the collection set to be unveiled during Toy Previews LA. The upcoming products will offer another opportunity for children to connect with the series through hands-on play, further expanding the franchise beyond its animated adventures.
Following DeAPlaneta Entertainment’s acquisition of full ownership of the property, the company has also continued to introduce new content inspired by the series, including the short-form productions Milo’s Creations, Milo’s Bookreads and Milosodes. Additional extensions include the Milo’s Music Box music albums, an updated version of the Milo’s World app and the franchise’s official website.
With so many new developments taking shape, 2027 is looking to be an important year for Milo as the series continues its journey from a beloved preschool program into a growing world of entertainment, learning and play.
And while the upcoming season will certainly introduce plenty of changes, the heart of the series remains the same: encouraging children to be curious, explore their interests and discover that every profession has something special to offer.
Whether it’s meeting Twilo and LZ Bones for the first time, discovering a new career alongside Milo, enjoying an audio adventure or exploring the world of Milotown through interactive play, there will be plenty of new ways for young audiences to join in on the fun.
The third season of Milo, featuring 52 new episodes, is scheduled to premiere in 2027, with additional details about the upcoming video game, toys and audio storytelling experiences expected as the franchise continues to expand.
