Also see: What if Nickelodeon revived Chickpea and Friends?
Chickpea and Friends is an animated children's television series based on the "Cyw" brand from the Welsh company S4C. The aforementioned company co-produces the show with Nickelodeon Animation Studio. The series, albeit split into Cyfres 1 and 2, was first released as Cyw a'i Ffrindiau in Wales, before making its way onto the US on the third-party streaming service Kidoodle. Due to nobody watching nor knowing the show's existence, it was moved to Nickelodeon with Season 1 becoming Learn, Sing and Play, and Seasons 2 and 3 being a part of the mainline series' first season.
Freeform from the United States as of Season 2. On August 6, 2022, Hoho Entertainment announced the show moving to Nickelodeon on Kidscreen. On January 5, 2023, the Nick Jr. and S4C social media accounts posted about the show.
In the United States, it premiered on Nickelodeon, the Nick Jr. Channel and Noggin on July 10, 2023.
On October 6, 2022, the series was renewed for a second season.
On March 11, 2024, it was announced that plans were underway for a feature-length movie in theaters to be released in 2026.

Unlike other episodes, they are all five minutes long. Those episodes, unlike when it was on Kidoodle, Toon Goggles and Kartoon Channel, are paired with 4 episodes. Season 2's dubbed episodes are also now a part of Season 1. However, Sleeping Scoff was the 5th segment in the last one because the episodes didn't match the multiple of 4.

== Trivia ==
* The closing logos used to resemble the same one shown in Kidoodle during Season 1, but as of Season 2, the 2024 Nickelodeon Productions logo would play after that.
=== Changes from the Kidoodle and S4C airings (Season 1) ===
* Stomp gets his old noise back throughout the entire series, replacing the trumpet sounds.
* At the beginning of "Windy Day", the sound error where Chickpea gets her old squeaking noises back has been fixed.
* In "Lennon and the Voice", Die gets her original noises (from "Octopus") back rather than using stock dolphin noises.
** Bobi also gets his noise from "Sailing Boat" back in the episodes he's in.
