There's a brand-new channel launching on Sky in the coming months that will offer extra content 24 hours a day seven days a week.
The even better news is that some customers will be able to watch it for free.
The exciting update is part of a big boost to Sky's current Kids service which already offers eight channels targeting the younger members of the household.

Sky’s new service arrives in February next year when it will offer extra ad-free programming that will be suitable for children aged one to seven years old.
The telly giant promises that the service will bring exclusive originals and big names to TVs across Ireland.
Fearne Cotton is just one celebrity that has helped produce content for the platform.
Shows will span themes of learning, arts and crafts, music, dance and fitness and will include programmes such as My Friend Misty, Ready, Eddie, GO! and Dino Club.
Families will also be treated to franchise favourites such as Miffy, DUPLO and Little Baby Bum.
How much does the new Sky Kids channel cost?
It will be added at no extra cost for customers who already have the Sky Kids package on their account.
Other Sky customers can upgrade for a cost of €8 per month.
And members of the streaming service NOW will also be able to enjoy the new channel as part of its €11.99 Entertainment membership.
Speaking about the update, Lucy Murphy, Director of Kids Content at Sky, said: “We’re so excited to announce the launch of our brand-new linear channel.
“Millions of our customers already love watching our huge range of Original shows on-demand but families with younger kids have told us that watching on linear channels is an important part of their day; so, we’ve listened and expanded our Sky Kids offering at no extra cost. "
While Fearne Cotton, Executive Producer, said: “I'm very excited for you all to meet My Friend Misty. It's a fun, colourful and explorative show for both kids and parents.”
There's no word on an exact launch date for the new Sky Kids service but the firm has said it should go live in February 2022.
