The Secret Life of 5 Year Olds will return with a new generation of youngsters…
It’s the second ‘classic’ Channel 4 series to be announced to return following the confirmation that Educating Yorkshire would also be back in the schedules.
The Secret Life of 5 Year Olds, made in partnership with E.ON Next will see the format return for a digitally savvy audience, as part of Channel 4’s Fast Forward strategy to create the best solutions for brands.
Following a special episode to kick off the partnership, the new content will be available on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, enabling viewers to discover broadcast quality beyond traditional TV at anytime, anywhere, and on any platform.
The series will explore the awareness of climate concerns and eco-anxiety within the next generation and how to explore these themes to drive real societal change in the future. The series will help empower children to build energy saving habits and recognise the power they have in doing so.
The Secret Life of 5 Year Olds provides viewers insight into the behaviours and interactions of a new generation of early years children. Observing them as they navigate the world around them, the show will capture the social interactions of the group who are all learning how to relate to each other, and touch on the topics that will be relevant to them as they grow up such as sustainability.
While the five-year-olds take part in numerous tasks and games around these themes they will be under the watchful eye of highly trained early years professionals with Professor Paul Howard-Jones (Educational Neuroscientist, Bristol University) and Dr Laverne Antrobus (Paediatric consultant educational psychologist, Tavistock and Portman NHS trust) returning to share their insightful observations from this pivotal stage of childhood.
