Kids will be thrilled that one of their favorite characters will be back on television. Parents, maybe not so much.
The streaming service Peacock is the new home for the “Caillou” reboot.

There will be 52 main episodes, The Globe and Mail reported.
There will also be five 44-minute episodes that will highlight stories focusing on Halloween, Christmas, summer vacation, anti-bullying and celebration of family, E! News reported.
