In a statement,  Tom Newman, Head of Development and Production at TBN, said, “TBN is excited to partner with Big Idea Content Group to bring new life to a much-loved children’s brand. These all new episodes will re-introduce VeggieTales to existing fans and remind new ones the importance of presenting biblical values through high-quality children’s entertainment.”
