Animated Series “Kiff” Premieres Friday March 10 on Disney
Disney Branded Television has announced that the launch dates for their new animated buddy comedy, “Kiff,” will be Friday, March 10 at 8:00 p.m. EST/PST on Disney Channel, and Wednesday, March 15 at 8:00 p.m. EST/PST on Disney+.
Kimiko Glenn (“Orange Is the New Black”) voices Kiff, whose insatiable curiosity leads her on many escapades with H Michael Croner’s (“Craig of the Creek”) Barry throughout their metropolis. The theme tune for the series was also unveiled today.
The series, developed by Lucy Heavens and Nic Smal, centres on best friends Kiff and Barry as they negotiate life in Table Town, a place where animals and magical oddballs go about their daily routines side by side.
Each half-hour episode will feature an original song inspired by the people and places Heavens and Smal encountered while growing up in Cape Town, South Africa. Heavens voices Kiff’s theatre instructor Helen, and Smal voices the principal of Table Town School, Principal Secretary, in addition to their creative duties.
