Peacock has started production on a three-part Peacock Original documentary from Scout Productions.
This documentary examines the rock star-like rise of Barney the Dinosaur, the beloved character who captured the hearts of millions of children and then became the target of hate and rage across pop culture, the early internet and playgrounds around the world.
“Barney the Dinosaur was a ubiquitous character for children and parents alike and we are thrilled to work with the Scout Productions team to bring this three-part series to Peacock,” said Rod Aissa, EVP, Unscripted Content, NBCUniversal Television & Streaming. “This documentary is bound to captivate audiences like Barney has over the years.”
The three-part documentary will offer first-hand accounts of the Barney phenomenon from the cast and crew and others with exclusive interviews. The three-part documentary will premiere on Peacock in 2022.
