“We look forward to being the Australian premiere broadcaster for the Berry Bees.

Who says adult spies should have all the crime fighting fun?

Ready for action, the Berry Bees is 33% savvy spy smarty-pantsing, 33% LOL hilarity and 34% buzz-kicking action. That’s 100% KFTW (Kids For The Win) entertainment.

A high-energy, hilarious, spy show with all the right ingredients featuring three extraordinarily talented 10-year old girls named Bobby, Lola and Juliette. Seemingly ordinary school-age children who have been selected by the B.I.A. (Bee Intelligence Agency) for those special spy missions in which only child agents can be used. Together the girls are known as the Berry Bees.

When the world’s top-secret villains unleash their mayhem and the Berry Bees are summoned, Bobby, Lola and Juliette become mistresses of disguise, secret undercover agents, astute mentalists and mostly… buzz-kicking martial arts experts who use awesome berry-themed gadgets to help them save the day.

They’re all unique individuals, but their ability to act as one, confounds even the most devious adversaries. The Berry Bees always have each other’s backs and always share a lot of laughs. They aren’t just a spy team, they are best friends.

Whenever adult agents are too old to find a way, our kid spies are summoned to save the day.

Berry Bees is comprised of hilarious action-packed stories, full of spy-gadgets and thrill-seeking fun.
