The brand-new preschool series Jessica’s Big Little World will debut on Cartoon Network on October 2 at 8 a.m. and launch the first collection of episodes October 7 on Max.
Cartoon Network will also present a sneak peek of the premiere episode this Wednesday, September 20 at 10 a.m. ET/PT and on Thursday, September 21 at 8:15 a.m. ET/PT in the Cartoonito block.
A spin-off of the Emmy, GLAAD and NAACP Image Award-nominated series Craig of the Creek, the new show centers on the adventures of Craig’s resilient little sister, Jessica. With the help of her friends — imaginary and real — Jessica sets off to take on the world, even if she still does suck her thumb … sometimes.
“It’s always a joy to hang out with the characters from Craig of the Creek\’ and this time we get to focus on the amazing Jessica as she embarks on her adventure of growing up,” said Michael Ouweleen, President of Cartoon Network. “Jessica’s journey of self-discovery is so compelling and relatable to watch — whether you’re big or little!”
The official trailer was revealed today, watch it below!
Synopsis: The new show from Cartoon Network Studios follows Jessica as she navigates her way through a world where everything seems much bigger than she is. Although she’s the youngest and still needs help with a lot, Jessica is inspired by the grown-ups and bigger kids around her and is persistent in her quest to conquer monumental kid tasks like creating a bedtime routine or learning to ride a big kid bike.
Reprising their roles from Craig of the Creek, Jessica’s Big Little World stars Lucia Cunningham (Jessica), Philip Solomon (Craig), Phil LaMarr (Bernard) and Kimberly Hebert Gregory (Nicole). They are joined by Alani Ilongwe (Small Uncle), Byron Marc Newsome (Duane) and Ozioma Akagha (Big Jessica).
Tiffany Ford (Craig of the Creek) serves as showrunner, executive producer and co-creator. Craig of the Creek showrunners Matt Burnett and Ben Levin are executive producers and co-creators. Sam Register also serves as executive producer.
New episodes of Jessica’s Big Little World will also be available for purchase from digital retailers the day after they premiere on Cartoon Network. Fans can also look forward to the first Craig of the Creek original animated movie set to arrive later this year.
