Disney’s “Kiff,” the nutty new animated buddy-comedy about optimistic squirrel Kiff and her chill bunny bestie Barry, is now streaming on Disney+ in the United States. The series premiered on the Disney Channel on March 10th and the first six episodes of the series were scheduled to arrive on Disney+ in the US on March 15th but have released on the streamer earlier than expected.
From creators and executive producers Lucy Heavens and Nic Smal, the series follows Kiff and Barry as they navigate school, relationships and their often-eccentric community in Table Town, a world where animals and magical oddballs tackle day-to-day life together.
Inspired by the people and places Heavens and Smal experienced when they were growing up in Cape Town, South Africa, each half-hour episode, comprised of two 11-minute stories, will include a new original song. In addition to their creative roles, Heavens and Smal also voice characters in the series: Heavens as Kiff’s drama teacher, Helen, and Smal as the principal of Table Town School, Principal Secretary.
Joining the cast in recurring roles are the following:
