Comedy adventure series Nova Jones returns for a second series on RTÉ Two and BBC iPlayer



Date Posted: December 20, 2022

Comedy adventure series Nova Jones is back with a brand new series which sees Nova, the 18 year-old pop sensation, tour the galaxy and meet a bunch of new characters along the way! Produced by JAM Media, the series begins tomorrow (Wednesday 21st December) at 8:40am on RTÉ Two and is available to watch on BBC iPlayer. Nova Jones was filmed on location in Belfast with funding from Northern Ireland Screen and Screen Ireland.

The musical adventure series follows the out-of-this-world exploits of Nova and her crew on board the Jefferson Spaceship. With 12 new original songs, and new characters such as the Dollograms – a red, green and blue trio of identical hologram backing dancers who definitely want to do the show their way – the series is nothing short of the joyful musical extravaganza viewers have grown to love.

From Nova being thrown back in time and trapped in her old girl band to having to prove she is the real Nova at SuperNovaCon, viewers can expect to see their favourite popstar find her way out of several challenges – all with the help of her hardworking sister, McLaren.

Special guest star Rosie McClelland also makes an appearance in the new series as influencer extraordinaire, The Influencer, in an episode focusing on mental health and looking after yourself.

The Executive Producers for JAM Media are Alan Shannon and John Rice, and the Executive Producer for CBBC is Sarah Muller. It was created by Helen Serafinowicz (Motherland) with Head Writer and Executive Producer Andrew Ellard (script editor for Miranda, Detectorists and Red Dwarf). Original songs are written by Matthew Graham and Jessica Hammond (Konica).
