The beloved family favourite, “Kids Say the Darndest Things,” is set to return for its third season, promising even more laughter, surprises, and heartwarming moments. This season marks an exciting new chapter with a groundbreaking collaboration between Paramount Global Content Distribution and What Media Group, bringing the iconic show to new heights.
The new season will be broadcast on The What Network, with Mansa Studios serving as the production partner. This strategic alliance combines the global reach of Paramount Global Content Distribution with the local expertise of What Media Group. The partnership aims to elevate the show’s production values while celebrating African children and their unique perspectives.
“We are thrilled to be working with What Media Group to bring the ‘Kids Say the Darndest Things’ format to audiences across Africa,” said Lauren Marriott, SVP of Content Partnerships and Brand Strategy at Paramount Global Content Distribution. “This collaboration will allow families across the continent to enjoy this reimagined format together.”
Chichi Nwoko, CEO of What Media Group, shared her excitement about the new season. “With Paramount’s support, we are setting the stage for a season like no other. We’re dedicated to keeping the show’s essence while celebrating the diversity and originality of African children. This season will feature kids from across the continent, offering fresh and engaging content that reflects the experiences of today’s vibrant generation.”
“Kids Say the Darndest Things Africa” will continue its tradition of showcasing unfiltered, spontaneous, and often hilarious insights from children. Unlike professional actors, these young stars are not rehearsed, ensuring their responses remain genuine and unpredictable.
As preparations for the new season get underway, the production team is focused on delivering a captivating and inspiring show. Casting calls for children aged 4 to 11 from across Africa will be announced soon, inviting them to share their unique perspectives and become part of this memorable season.
The U.S. version of “Kids Say the Darndest Things” is produced by CBS Studios in association with Anvil 1893 Entertainment and She Ready Productions. The format rights are licensed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
