PAWTUCKET, R.I., Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hasbro, a leading games, IP and toy company, today announced Play-Doh with Margo, a new original YouTube series that brings the hands-on creativity of the Play-Doh brand to digital entertainment for preschoolers. The official trailer is available now ahead of the series premiere on Friday, October 30.

Hosted by the playful and energetic Margo, the series uses songs, games and imaginative “What if…?” questions to inspire children to create alongside the show. Each episode explores a playful possibility, such as “What if pumpkins liked dressing up?,” “What if dragons didn’t breathe fire?” or “What if vegetables had superpowers?,” before encouraging viewers to bring the idea to life with Play-Doh compound.

“For generations, the Play-Doh brand has given children the freedom to imagine, experiment and bring their ideas to life,” said Kim Boyd, President of Licensing and Entertainment at Hasbro. “Play-Doh with Margo brings that creative spirit to entertainment, giving preschoolers a playful place to start and inviting them to get hands-on, make each creation their own and see where their imaginations take them.”

Each episode follows a recurring format that guides children from inspiration to creation. After Margo welcomes viewers, she discovers something that sparks the episode’s “What if…?” question and previews the featured creation during “The Unsquish.” She shapes the idea with Play-Doh compound in “Imaginoodle” and explores ways to customize it in “Switch-Up.” The “Can-Can Shuffle” then determines what comes next: a “Mission Make,” an upbeat “Silly Song” or a real-world “Exploration.” Finally, the finished creation comes to life in an animated short story.

The series currently has 42 episodes planned, with new installments rolling out weekly in five languages: English, French, German, Brazilian Portuguese and Latin American Spanish. Fans can watch the trailer and new episodes of Play-Doh with Margo on the official Play-Doh YouTube channel.
