Gutsy Animations’ internationally celebrated, Emmy-nominated animated series Moominvalley (13 x 22’) has been recommissioned for a third season by anchor broadcasters YLE in Finland and Sky in the U.K. Produced by Gutsy Animations, the series is based on the beloved Moomin stories by Finnish-Swedish author and artist Tove Jansson.

The new season sees a mix of new and returning high profile voice cast, including Rosamund Pike, Bel Powley, Warwick Davis, Matt Berry, Akiya Henry, Jennifer Saunders, Will Self and Julian Barratt, as well as a new character: Snorkmaiden’s brother, Snork. Based on Tove’s original character, Snork will be played by Chance Perdomo (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina). Also joining the cast is Jack Rowan (Noughts + Crosses, Peaky Blinders) in the role of Moomintroll.

Season 3 will be helmed by a collective of directors, all of whom have worked on previous seasons of Moominvalley: Sara Barbas (Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit); Nigel Davies (Shaun the Sheep), Darren Robbie (Doc McStuffins) and Jay Grace (The Farmer’s Llamas).

Synopsis: Journey into the magical world of Moominvalley, an idyllic place where the Moomins live in harmony with nature. The series is a whimsical coming of age story of family and friendship, and the third season of Moominvalley will revolve around themes of community. In the upcoming instalment, the quirky residents from all around the valley come to the Moomin family with their problems and questions, and together they harness the power of tolerance, kindness and caring to restore harmony to Moominvalley. New for this series will be Snorkmaiden’s brother, Snork (Perdomo), a logical and clever youngster known for his curious inventions, alongside the small and irate prankster creature Stinky, whose debut in the series has been eagerly anticipated by fans.
