Hi-5 House is a spin-off of the Australian-Singaporean children's television program Hi-5, that originally debuted in 1999. The new Hi-5 series, which is filmed in Singapore, debuted in November 4, 2013 on Nick Jr. in Australia and December 9, 2013 on Disney Junior in South East Asia. It also airs on Okto and Toggle in Singapore. Hi-5 is a children's music group on which the Hi-5 and Hi-5 House television shows are based.
The Project
Initially, the Hi-5 series 14 had forecast broadcast on Nine Network in 2012, with the inclusion of the debut Dayen Zheng who joined earlier that year. The series that was in his penultimate year, according to the firm of his contract in Australian TV station. But in June of that year, since it began to make a tour of Asia, Southern Star sold the rights to a Malaysian company named Asiasons Capital Group, what characterized the end of the series filmed in Australia, making plans to continue (nevertheless) the program until the following year. Tim Maddren and Casey Burgess, what before, were for this project, announced they will leave the group, where they remained until January 19, 2013. On January 23, 2013, were released the names of the new members, they call Mary Lascaris and Ainsley Melham. These are composing the cast with Stevie, Lauren and Dayen. The revelation of these new members was shown on January 24, 2013 in Westpoint Shopping, located in Melbourne, Australia. As it was shown in the first movie called Hi-5: Some Kind of Wonderful. In June 2013, the Hi-5's executive producer Julie Greene, revealed in an interview for the site TV Asia Plus, the great novelties about the sequel, which will be filmed in Singapore. The series title was revealed, renamed to Hi-5 House. They all still exist but we're adding in a new segment to the line-up and it's called The Chatterbox, the Chats 2nd segment happen in the world of character. This new program joining in the fun and energy of the show with the new cast. It's a little bit more.[1]
