Moonbug Entertainment, a subsidiary of Candle Media, today announced the launch of Nina’s Familia, the newest CoComelon spinoff series starring JJ’s lovable, sporty classmate and friend, Nina Reyes, who first debuted on the show in 2019. New episodes of the series will launch on the Nina’s Familia YouTube channel each Friday from today (September 29).
Nina’s Familia is an extension of the CoComelon universe, but now from the Reyes family’s perspective. Through the familiar style of three-minute songs and nursery rhymes, children will now experience stories of family, social-emotional learning, positivity and healthy habits through the lens of a bilingual, multigenerational, Mexican-American family.
The show offers a Spanish-language twist on CoComelon‘s tradition of imparting early-life lessons through song. Nina’s Familia will include Spanish in every episode — some fully performed in the language — with songs including “¡Dale, Dale, Dale!,” “Pin Pon es un Muñeco” and “Estrellita Dónde Estás.” In addition to language, Nina’s Familia will also include culturally significant storylines and songs themed on recognizable Mexican-American traditions, like Día de los Muertos and Noche Buena Christmas.
“Nina’s Familia is the kind of series I’ve always wanted to be a part of, but is so rarely seen. It’s one where an intelligent, caring, adventurous Mexican-American girl can do anything and be anything, all while being surrounded and supported by a strong Latine family,” said Anthony Falcón, creative lead on the series. “This show embodies everything so many of us at Moonbug wish we had growing up. The type of content we want to create for our daughters, nieces, nephews, etc. It’s an opportunity for every little Latine kid to see themselves and their family represented on screen in the way we’ve been waiting for. That’s what makes this series so important for Moonbug.”
