Plot Synopsis

WORD PARTY is a vocabulary building show for preschoolers that follows four baby animals -- Bailey, Franny, Kip and Lulu -- as they sing, dance and play. Produced using the Henson Digital Puppetry Studio, a proprietary technology from Jim Henson's Creature Shop that allows puppeteers to perform digitally animated characters in real time, this series invites the youngest viewers to help teach the baby animals new words, learn these new words themselves, and even celebrate these achievements with a "Word Party!" Fourteen 11-min episodes premiered exclusively on Netflix around the world on Friday, July 8, 2016 at 3:01am ET/12:01am PT.

Season 3 of WORD PARTY premiered on Friday, October 6, 2017 at 3:01am ET/12:01am PT, as Netflix released the entire 14-episode new season. In the show's third season, Bailey, Franny, Kip and Lulu continue to help preschoolers learn new words while they have fun starting a band, playing games, learning about friendship and more. In the season opener, "Hit It!," the babies decide to start a band, but Franny and Lulu fight over the drum. Now they need to find just the right instrument for Lulu to play.

WORD PARTY returned for its 10-episode fourth season on Tuesday, January 21, 2020 at 3:01am ET/12:01am PT, as Netflix released the entire new season. In the season opener, "The Big Surprise," the babies play detective to try and solve the mystery behind some new things in the house. Can you help them uncover the exciting surprise in store?
