Blast off with the launch of new RTÉ KIDSjr animated series Adam Loves Adventure

The intergalactic children’s show starring Adam King will premiere on 14 February on RTÉ2, RTÉ KIDSjr and RTÉ Player 

The Late Late Toy Show star Adam King is back on our screens lending his voice to the out of this world animated series Adam Loves Adventure. The programme sees Adam and intergalactic pals take on exciting cosmic adventures.

The series will air on Valentine’s Day with a double bill on RTÉ2 at 8:00am and on RTÉ KIDSjr at 7:50am. All episodes will also be available to watch on RTÉ Player from 14 February. The animation will also feature Paul Tylak as Bubby, Emer O’Neil as Shelby, Bonnie O’Meara (star of Maddie + Triggs) as Speedy and Portia McLoughlin as Zuzu.

Adam Loves Adventure is a science-fiction adventure comedy for young children from the team that brought the 2021 festive special Adam Saves Christmas to life. Adam King plays a problem-solving space explorer who uses his big heart and space smarts to make new friends and learn new things! Set in outer space, the show follows the crew of The Shelby as they fly through the universe meeting unique aliens and exploring fantastical worlds, solving problems with empathy, compassion, teamwork and logic.

Eimear O’Mahony, Executive Producer Children and Young People’s Programming at RTÉ said: 

“RTÉ KIDSjr is so proud to have been along with Adam from the start of his animated adventure with his Christmas Special in 2021 and now with this brand new series. From the fun visual style, to the super talented voice cast and the script that parents will enjoy as much as their kids will, there’s something for everyone! We apologise if the uber-catchy theme song is in your head for the rest of the day! This Valentines Day RTÉ KIDSjr is sharing the love by dropping the whole boxset on RTÉ Player for  all the family to enjoy.” 

Adam King said: 

“I’m really proud of the show, I love the characters and all the adventures they go on. I think it’s really cool to hear my voice in the show!” 

Kavaleer CEO and creator of Adam Loves Adventure Andrew Kavanagh said: 

“The launch of this show means the world to me. The first time I saw Adam on TV during the lockdown of 2020, his hopeful message of connection and optimism during those dark days of COVID inspired to create this show and spread that joy with children everywhere. It’s been a privilege and a pleasure to work with Adam, his family and the amazing talented cast and crew at Kavaleer in bringing it to life.”
