The BBC is reviving the beloved children's show Balamory with original cast members Julie Wilson Nimmo, Andrew Agnew, Kim Tserkezie, and Juliet Cadzow reprising their roles in a new series set to air on BBC iPlayer and CBeebies in 2026. The reboot will blend familiar characters with new additions, such as scientist Ava Potts and local vet Dr. Ollie, maintaining the show's charming setting inspired by Tobermory on the Isle of Mull. Filming will take place both in Glasgow studios and on location in Tobermory. Kate Morton, Head of Commissioning for BBC Children’s and Education, highlighted the perfect mix of nostalgia and fresh storytelling aimed at delighting both children and adults who fondly remember the original. The original Balamory was a global success, having been broadcast in countries like Australia, Canada, the US, and Hong Kong. This revival promises to offer a joyful mix of stories, comedy, songs, and adventures for a new generation of preschoolers while preserving the essence of the fictional town and its lively community.
