Nickelodeon will give SpongeBob‘s Facebook friends, of which there are some 16 million, a gift next week when it premieres the first tale in its Legends of Bikini Bottom, an anthology of five new SpongeBob SquarePants stories. The first new story, Trenchbillies, guest stars Amy Sedaris and debuts on Thursday, January 27 at 8p on the SpongeBob Facebook page. The remaining four stories that make up Legends of Bikini Bottom will premiere on Nickelodeon the following day in an hour-long primetime TV special, Friday, January 28, at 8p. This special will simulcast on Nick Mobile, and following the premier will be available via the network’s download-to-own partners. Nick.com will feature clips from the special, as well as SpongeBob trivia, a Patchy the Pirate-themed message board, and games, including the new game of the week Legends of Bikini Bottom that features six mini games. The first game is available now, and the remaining five will launch one a day from Monday-Friday, January 24-28. To access the final game, fans will need to enter a code that will appear on-air during the hour-long special on Friday. The entire Legends of Bikini Bottom, including all five stories, will air Saturday, January 29, 10-11:15a on Nickelodeon. Hasbro Studios, the TV production/distribution arm of Hasbro, inks a four-year overall deal with writer/executive producer Jeff Kline to exclusively develop and produce kid-targeted animated TV programming.

Thinkwell Group, a 10-year-old experiential design and development firm, signs on to help design and produce a behind the scenes look at the Harry Potter movies, which will be part of Warner Bros.‘ redevelopment of its newly acquired Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden. When completed, fans will be able to visit the studios and tour several of the original Harry Potter movie sets, where all eight movies were produced. Visitors will also see costumes, creatures and props and other items from the Potter pictures. The preschool property Penelope gets a new licensing partner in the UK. 4Kids Entertainment International, the licensing agent for Penelope, has signed a new apparel licensing deal with Paul Dennicci to produce a range of branded apparel for newborns up to small kids for the UK market. The Penelope TV series (52 episodes, 2 Christmas specials) airs on CBeebies (UK). Based on the Penelope book series created by Anne Gutman and Georg Hallensleben, the story revolves around the everyday adventures of Penelope, an unendingly curious three-year-old koala bear with a keen sense of humor, as she meets new challenges at school and home with friends and family. Additionally, under an earlier deal with publisher Redan, Penelope has been appearing in two of its preschool magazines, ‘Fun to Learn Friends‘ and ‘Fun to Learn Favourites.‘ Hit Entertainment renews its agreement with Character Options, which will continue to serve as the UK master toy licensee based on the CG-animated preschool property, Fireman Sam. Under the new multi-year licensing deal, Character Options will continue to manage all toy category rights for Fireman Sam, as well as launch new lines including playsets, vehicles, figurines, plush and role-play products.
