Production is underway in Melbourne on the second season of Knee High Spies, the popular Australian children’s series from Werner Film Productions, with support from the ABC, the Australian Children’s Television Foundation (ACTF) and VicScreen. The first season of Knee High Spies achieved strong audience engagement, recording 57 million minutes watched since its launch last year. The series also earned major industry recognition, winning the BANFF Rockie Award for Children: Live Action and the SPA Award for Children’s Production of the Year, while receiving a nomination for a Logie Award for Best Children’s Program.

Season 2 brings back the show’s team of lovable toy spies — Jeremy, Deena, Squash and Moss — as they embark on new missions to protect their human family from the mischievous plans of their pet guinea pig, Silver Paw, voiced by Ali McGregor. The new episodes will see the tiny heroes facing a series of playful challenges, from protecting an epic pillow fort and stopping a family game of leap the lava from going wrong to dealing with the arrival of an adorable pet bunny. Once again, preschool audiences will be invited to help solve puzzles and uncover clues throughout the adventures.

Created by Tim Bain, Knee High Spies is directed by Jack Jameson and produced by Nicole Minchin for Werner Film Productions. “The Knee High Spies team is thrilled to be back in production, working our magic to bring the toy spies to life again with spectacular new adventures,” said creator Tim Bain.

ABC Head of Children & Family, Melinda Wearne, said: “Knee High Spies quickly captured the imaginations of young viewers and their families with its exciting adventures and uniquely interactive nature. We can’t wait to see more of this original series on the ABC next year.”
ACTF Head of Content Bernadette O'Mahony added: “It’s delightful to be back in the world of Knee High Spies again with such a talented team, and scripts that are so much fun – these new adventures with our tiny spies are going to be enjoyed by audiences here and around the world.”
VicScreen CEO Caroline Pitcher said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Knee High Spies back to Victoria for a second series. Great children’s content sparks imagination, curiosity and confidence, and this clever, fun-filled series has captured the hearts of young audiences and families alike. VicScreen is proud to support the next chapter of this home-grown success story and the talented team bringing it to life.”
