Bubble UK: iTV announces ”Newzoids”
Whereas American audiences get more prime-time cartoons, UK seems to prefer prime-time puppet series. No matter to us either way, especially when this one sounds really good.
iTV is gearing up to give us six episodes of a brand-new puppet-live action series called Newzoids which will see producers from the popular Spitting Image series re-team to put together a series that promises a more ”biting look at the world of politics and celebrity.”
Slated to be lambasted are puppet effigies of Beyonce, Simon Cowell, Russell Brand, and more. No word yet as to when this series will premier, but I hope it’s sooner rather than later. All told, the concept sounds a bit similar to America’s No, You Shut Up! over on Fusion, though as of now we don’t have a human host…or do we?

"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
