Teletubbies trailer reveals first look at Netflix revival
Eh-oh!
The Teletubbies are saying hello to Netflix in a brand new trailer, teasing Tituss Bergess's new role as the reboot's narrator.
The 70-second clip, which arrived on Netflix Jr's YouTube account, sees Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po return to their green, hilly home whilst indulging in tubby custard and dancing about their the Tubbytronic Superdome.
We're also introduced to the latest Sun Babies who'll be lighting up the Teletubbies' lives, as well as the Tiddlytubbies – baby versions of the colourful characters.
"Teletubbies love tubby custard. Teletubbies love dancing," Burgess says. "Teletubbies love the Tiddlytubbies and the Teletubbies love each other very much."
Netflix announced last month that it would be reviving the Teletubbies, which previously aired on the BBC from 1997 until 2001 and 2015 until 2018.
Landing on Netflix in November, the new series will be narrated by Burgess, who is best known for his roles in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Central Park and 30 Rock.
