Freaky is a cool New Zealand TV show made for kids! It's an anthology series, which means each episode tells a brand new story with different characters. Think of it like a collection of mini-movies, all with a spooky or mysterious twist!
The show is all about kids who suddenly find themselves in really weird situations. Imagine trying to do something totally normal, like going to the mall or just hanging out at home, and then BAM! You're facing an alien, a ghost, or some other strange force. It's a mix of fantasy, science fiction, and even a little bit of horror.
Freaky was made by Avalon Productions and got money from NZ on Air. It's often compared to shows like The Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits, but made especially for a younger audience.
The show is set in everyday places in New Zealand, like houses, shopping malls, and schools. This makes the weird events feel even more surprising!
