Targeting six- to nine-year-olds, Tiara Jones (10×24′) will be produced in-house by Jam Media and comes after the Dublin-based prodco has made shows such as Roy and Little Roy for the UK pubcaster.

In the show, Tiara travels through space on a tour bus, dropping out-of-this-world singles, killer album and playing sell-out gigs to her legions of fans all across the universe.

Viewers also see her when the lights go down and the cameras are off, showing the reality of the hard-working crew that work tirelessly to keep her star bright, according to the producers. The series is set to debut in 2021.

“The series finds a pop princess with a planet-size ego creating waves – and funky music – right across the universe,” said Cheryl Taylor, head of content for BBC Children’s.
