Star Brights

Star Brights (or Star Brights at Night as it is known in the UK) is a series on The Kiddie Channel that premiered in 2020. The show is currently produced with many episodes, each of them containing two segments each.

Plot
The series follows "The Star Brights", a group of superhero explorers: a boy named Lenny, his younger sister Linderton, and their best friend Ben, who love exploring outside after dark to discover what glows in their fictional home of The Enchanted Forest. However, they have one problem: they have no instincts for nature.

Earlier episodes of the series revolved around Lenny trying to navigate his everyday life at home and elsewhere with Linderton and Ben, and occasionally other friends, while also trying to explore outside in the night and ultimately, learning something new in the end. Later in the series, the group attempts to uncover the secrets of the Enchanted Forest, and to find explanations for assorted strange situations.

Much later in the series, the group often ends up dealing with or encountering various supernatural or legendary creatures, such as gnomes, cryptids, demons, extraterrestrials, minotaurs, and vampires. The group tackles these mysteries with the aid of a journal that they found in the Enchanted Forest. This journal describes many of the supernatural occurrences that can be found in the show. Even later in the series, they discover another layer of knowledge in the journal only visible under black light.

Through the learning experiences of the characters, this exploration-themed show encourages viewers to follow their curiosity, ask questions when they don't understand, and find answers using science inquiry skills, as well as to inspire children not to be afraid of the dark.

Characters
Besides Lenny, Ben, and Linderton, there are other fellow Star Brights who also have frequent recurring roles throughout the series, such as red, orange, yellow, and purple.

Main

 * Lenny (voiced by ) is the leader of the Star Brights with his sister Linderton and their friend Ben. He appears to be an energetic kid who is eager to explore the night and discover various new things. He seems to love everything, especially art and basketball, but lives for adventure. Lenny also enjoys sharing interesting information. Although he is often friendly, sometimes he can be rather insensitive. However, he always works to correct his mistakes. His theme color and suit are blue.
 * Linderton (voiced by ) is Lenny's younger sister. She is very excitable and friendly. She loves working, but she also enjoys having fun and usually has an optimistic outlook on life. She loves to help others and whenever she sees that someone is upset, she does her best to cheer them up. Although Linderton is very tall, she is only seven years old. She treats her job seriously, but also has an obsession with it. She is also very organized and is disgusted by disorganization. Her theme color and suit are pink.
 * Ben (voiced by ) tends to be the most persistent and compulsive of the Star Brights. An easygoing and laid-back boy who can help out his friends for various reasons, Ben is also an avid animal lover, particularly jumping in to rescue abused or frightened animals during missions. He very often provides comic relief throughout the series, cracking jokes or puns and making flashy introductions, similar to that of other Kiddie characters. Ben's theme color and suit are green.

Recurring

 * Little Dreamer (voiced by Lindred Fischer) is a young firefly whose star-shaped light can change colors and play soft glockenspiel music. She is normally very shy and introverted, but as the series continues, it shows that Little Dreamer is uncommonly more brave and determined for her young age. She is also singularly devoted to helping the Star Brights solve the mysteries of Enchanted Forest. Despite her lack of experience with the job, Little Dreamer frequently uncovers the facts needed to solve the Star Brights' cases, even doing so in their absence, which often puts her at odds with them.
 * Collarbone Darkness (voiced by ): One of the antagonist Star Brights, she is the nemesis of the main characters. Collarbone is arrogant, vain, and fairly obnoxious. She also tries to compete against them. Despite all this, she has a good heart deep down, since her theme color and suit are black.
 * Red (voiced by ): His theme color and suit are red.
 * Yellow (voiced by ): Her theme color and suit are yellow.
 * Purple (voiced by ): Her theme color and suit are purple.
 * Orange (voiced by ): His theme color and suit are orange.

Brand extension
In early 2022, the show is entirely updated (with redesigned theme song, logo, and characters) following the release of a motion picture entitled Star Brights: Masters of the Night.

Since season 3, their catchphrases are "Magical moondust!", "Oh my sparkly stars!", and "Sweet angels of the night sky!"
