Cult Web Series 'Don't Hug Me I'm Scared' Returns to Screens

The cult web series, Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared, returns to screens this September on Channel 4. 

Created by directors Becky & Joe, alongside long term collaborator Baker Terry, this puppet musical extravaganza from Blink Industries is part educational programming, part existential nightmare. A mixed media trip that moves from kids show pastiche to fever dream horror in the blink of an eye. Building on the cult YouTube show, which has been viewed over a quarter of a billion times, the Channel 4 series, supported by the BFI Young Audiences Content Fund, will be available exclusively on All 4 in September. The show follows Red Guy, Yellow Guy and Duck as they continue their disastrous learning journey.

The show first hit YouTube in 2011, revolutionising early internet humour and becoming a viral sensation. After watching the first episode, Blink signed them and developed the remaining five episodes with its long form division Blink Industries. The show has garnered a longstanding and insatiably loyal fanbase worldwide.
