Omens adds BBC alum to production team

Omens preschool series 123 Number Squad!

Singapore-based animator Omens Studios has hired a former CBeebies producer as a consultant executive producer at its UK office.

Adam Redfern spent 12 years at BBC kids’ channel CBeebies, where he was a series producer on Go Jetters. He also received writing credits for his work on The Adventures of Paddington, Oddbods and Deer Squad.

After leaving the BBC in 2018, Redfern became a freelance showrunner and development producer at Manchester’s Red Furnace following its founding.

In his new role at Omens, he will work across the studio’s preschool slate, which includes 123 Number Squad!, a spin-off from fellow Omens show Counting With Paula. His consultant role will allow him to continue working with his current clients.

Redfern said: “I’m really excited to share my knowledge and collaborate with the talented team in Singapore. We’re shaping a dynamic new preschool slate to delight and entertain children all around the world.”
