CocoMelon Lane is the first original Netflix show from the CocoMelon franchise, which has been incredibly popular on YouTube for its songs aimed at toddlers and young children. CocoMelon’s YouTube channel has over 169 million subscribers, making it the third most subscribed channel on the platform.
The Netflix version of CocoMelon’s show is not the first show aimed at children to include LGBT content, as Rubble & Crew, a spin-off of the incredibly popular Paw Patrol show, featured a nonbinary character. Similarly, Peppa Pig, a British children’s educational cartoon, featured a lesbian couple in an episode last year.
