Second Season of "Pocoyo" Shorts Comes Exclusively, Carolina Benvenga Stars as "Nanny Carolina"
Listen to the story
The children's show "I corti di Pocoyo" is getting a second season. It will be released exclusively, meaning fans can watch it in only one place.
Italian television personality Carolina Benvenga will appear in the new season. She plays a character called "Tata Carolina," which means "Nanny Carolina" in English.
Benvenga has compared her new role to Mary Poppins, the famous fictional nanny known for her magical way of caring for children.
In an interview, Benvenga also spoke about her love for Italian singer Cristina D'Avena, calling her a childhood idol.
She shared a memory from the past: she once attended one of D'Avena's concerts dressed as Sailor Moon, a popular animated character.
Benvenga said that now, instead of dressing up as a cartoon character for fun, she is becoming a nanny for her television role.
The comment highlights how her career has moved from being a fan of children's entertainment to becoming part of it herself.
Details about the plot or release date of the new season were not fully shared, but the exclusive release has already drawn attention from fans of the show.
"I corti di Pocoyo" is known for its short, simple episodes aimed at young viewers, and the new season is expected to continue this format.
Fans of both Pocoyo and Carolina Benvenga are looking forward to seeing her new nanny character on screen.
