Ashley Griffiths ('Alma's Way,' 'Blaze and the Monster Machines') serves as head writer and Shannon Flynn ('Blippi's Job Show,' 'Sesame Street') is the show's director.
Per the official synopsis, each episode of 'The Melon Patch' blends music, storytelling, movement, and art into fun segments that keep little learners engaged while exploring milestones like bath time, textures, big feelings and the joy of music.
'With 'The Melon Patch,' we've created a joyful space where kids can learn through music, play, and the warmth of a teacher they know and love, Ms. Appleberry,' said Nicole Rivera, Senior Creative Executive at CoComelon. 'She helps make every lesson feel like an adventure, blending songs, stories, and real-life learning in a way that's as fun as it is meaningful.'
The show, which hails from Moonbug, comes on the heels of Moonbug's expansion of the wildly popular Blippi brand onto Netflix with the launch of 'Blippi's Job Show' earlier this year.
This is the second-ever live-action 'CoComelon' show after the spinoff 'CoComelon Classroom' launched in 2024.
A CG-animated 'CoComelon' feature film is also underway at DreamWorks Animation, set to be released by Universal Pictures in 2027.

15 Swoon-Worthy New York City Date Ideas for Your Next Night Out
In New York City, romance plays by its own rules. A Tuesday night can feel like a Friday, and what starts as a simple dinner may effortlessly flow into cocktails, a museum stroll, and end on a carousel or dance floor. The secret? Mixing intimate moments with a sense of occasion—something this city has in abundance. Happily, for those seeking something beyond the classic dinner-and-drinks routine, New York has all manner of conversation-starting ways to connect, at any time of day. Whether you're sparking a new romance, looking to try something new with a longtime love, or simply enjoying a night out with a friend, these date ideas will turn any night out into a truly unforgettable time. Soak up nature's beauty on a stroll through the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, where peaceful paths, seasonal blooms, and cozy nooks set the perfect scene for conversation and connection. Citi Bike Along the Westside Highway For a breezy, active outing, hop on a Citi Bike and cruise along the West Side Highway. Take in sweeping views of the Hudson, then swing by Drift In, a laid-back bar with a beachy vibe, for cocktails and a chat. Stand-up lovers should be sure to snag seats at The Comedy Cellar in the West Village, where surprise drop-ins from comedy greats are common. Fair warning: Should an act decide to do a little crowd work, you and your date may just end up a part of the show! Pier 17 hosts open-air concerts with the East River and skyline as a breathtaking backdrop. Whether you're into country, pop, or you love a little nostalgia (Jessie McCartney is playing on October 4), there's nothing like a little live music by the water. For a deliciously interactive experience, sign up for a cooking class at Abigail's Kitchen. From fresh pasta to sushi rolls, the hands-on lessons turn meal prep into a playful date—and you get to eat the results!

YouTube Add New CTA Options for Promote, More Images in Community Posts
This story was originally published on Social Media Today. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Social Media Today newsletter. YouTube has announced a new update for Community Posts, while it's also adding new CTA options for in-stream promotions, and the capacity to edit auto-dubbed clips. First off, on Community Posts. YouTube's giving channel managers more ways to express themselves in their social-like updates, by increasing the number of images available in your posts. As per YouTube: 'Until now, creators could only upload five images per post on their channel. Now, creators will be able to upload up to 10 images per post.' So a pretty straightforward change, more images for your posts, which could facilitate more context, more engagement opportunities, etc. YouTube says that this option is being launched across all surfaces this week. YouTube's also making it easier to update clips in which you've applied auto-dubbing, with the system now able to re-process edited clips to ensure the dubbing is accurate. 'Creators will soon be able to use Studio Editor for videos that have automatic dubbing enabled. After changes are saved, the autodub tracks will be recreated to match the edits.' So you'll have more capacity to manage and maintain your videos that you've used auto-dubbing on, with YouTube now able to review those changes, and keep your content accessible in other languages. YouTube's gradually rolling out auto-dubbing to more users, with all verified creators now able to access the option. YouTube also notes that editing videos with manually uploaded multi-language captions is coming later this year. Finally, YouTube's also rolling out a new update for YouTube Promote, which will give creators more call-to-action (CTA) options for their promotions. As you can see in this example, YouTube will now provide more CTA button options to choose from when setting up your Promote campaigns. 'When a campaign is created with a goal of more website visits, creators can now identify a more granular desired outcome such as 'Book Now,' 'Get Quote,' 'Contact Us,' etc. This is currently available only on desktop.' Creators can use Promote campaigns to boost their Shorts and/or videos directly from YouTube or YouTube Studio, without needing to go to Google Ads. Creators can also use Promote to get more channel subscribers, increase video views, and more. Some handy updates, without being game-changing, but providing more capacity to manage and maintain your YouTube content.
