From Coachella to your couch, Yo Gabba Gabba! is so back.
Fresh off the beloved kid show’s standout performance at Coachella in April — featuring special guests Flavor Flav, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Portugal. The Man and Thundercat — the full library of the original four seasons of Yo Gabba Gabba! is coming to Apple TV+ on Friday.
The news comes alongside the announcement of season 2 of Yo Gabba GabbaLand!, which premiered last summer on Apple TV+ and will return early next year, on Jan. 30, for a brand-new season.
Over nearly 70 episodes spanning from August 2007 to November 2015, the original Nickelodeon series made its mark with its giant, colorful costumed toys (Muno, Foofa, Plex, Brobee and Toodee) and a revolving door of musical guests, including Weezer, Solange, The Roots, Erykah Badu, The Shins and My Chemical Romance. Biz Markie had a regular segment called “Biz’s Beat of the Day,” during which the late “Just a Friend” rapper would demonstrate beatboxing techniques.
Yo Gabba GabbaLand!, which premiered in August 2024, was inspired by the original four-season run, with new host Kammy Kam standing in for O.G. ringleader DJ Lance Rock. The Apple TV+ spin-off also featured a string of music stars in season 1, including Anderson .Paak, Red Hot Chilli Peppers’ Flea and Diplo. Wednesday’s (June 18) announcement promises “a new star-studded lineup of ‘Super Music Friends’ and special guests to help kids and families learn life lessons through song, dance and joyful discovery” for season 2.
Back in December, Kammy Kam and the whole Yo Gabba GabbaLand! crew took over NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert, with an audience of small kids infiltrating the workspace and Thundercat coming out to join the crew for a song.
