Josh Wakely’s Beat Bugs: Exclusive look at new characters and special performance from Samantha Gongol of Marian Hill
By Sandy C.
Season 3 of Netflix’s Beat Bugs is set to include more fun performances, and we’ve got your exclusive first look at one of them!
Beat Bugs is a children’s favorite on Netflix. The animated series follows five young and vivacious backyard insects who set out to explore and learn new life lessons each day. As the program’s title lightly suggests, it features versions of songs from The Beatles. Some of these songs include fan favorites “Come Together” and “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.” All of which are performed by popular artist such as Pink and Sia.
The series, created by Josh Wakely, targets children ages 5 to 7 and aims to teach lessons, without coming off as pushy. Instead, it delivers these teachings through its colorful characters and fun music.
In an exclusive clip, we’ve got your first look at one of the songs to be featured on the upcoming third season! The song is “Let It Be,” and it’s performed by Samantha Gongol of the electro-pop duo Marian Hill!
Check out the exclusive clip, below:
The third season will also feature reimagined Beatles classics such as “Day in the Life,” “Hey Jude,” and “Revolution.” With performances from Noah Kahan, Chloe Kohanski, Welshly Arms and more!

"Chameleon can both change colors and has to learn to own his own personality. He comes in as a sales man, selling ideas that aren’t true but learns from the Beat Bugs that the thing most worth spreading in life is realness and real love and in turn creates his own color and personality and becomes part of the Beat bugs gang."
"Freda is the wonderful, theatrical, wildly warm, interior decorating obsessed, long lost sister of Walter. They reunite in the Special “Beat Bugs: All Together Now” and features in the episode “Two of Us” and other episodes where they adventure and learn how to become brother and sister in this new world."
"Mo is a Mosquito. He crash lands into Walter and decides to be his most loyal friend, an assistant of sorts but in turn upsets the hierarchy of the Beat Bugs and causes Buzz, Walters most faithful friend, to be upset. They have to learn to coexist together."
"Molly features in ObLaDi, OblaDa, which Josh Wakely can’t wait for Beat Bugs fans to watch as it features the entire episode in singing rhyme."
"Mother Mary is a celestial character who Buzz meets and has to convince the other Beat Bugs that she exists in The Beatles classic “Let it Be”."
"Tiger Moth is part insect, part moth, part 1950’s fighter plane who teaches Buzz to fly and in turn learns how to be humble and graceful in the same way that Buzz is."
With entertaining characters and fun, nostalgic music, it’s easy to see why Netflix’s Beat Bugs is a favorite for both kids and parents.
