The Famous Five S1
Nominated as Best Live-Action Series at the 2025 Kidscreen Awards, The Famous Five is based on Enid Blyton’s iconic children’s stories.
Created and executive produced by BAFTA nominee Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive), The Famous Five follows Julian, Dick, Anne, George, and their loyal dog, Timmy, as the daring young explorers encounter treacherous, action-packed adventures, remarkable mysteries, unparalleled danger and astounding secrets.
As The Spectator says, “The Famous Five is that very rare and special thing: a TV show that both children and adults can thoroughly enjoy.”
