Diana’s global reach across her YouTube channels has garnered her over 123 million subscribers and over 52 billion lifetime views since the first channel launched in 2015. The six-year-old Ukrainian-born Diana takes viewers on surreal playful adventures bursting with color and imagination, with her brother Roma and parents Olena and Volodymyr along for the journey.

The series will launch Fall 2020 on YouTube and pocket.watch’s OTT network which includes Amazon Prime Video, The Roku Channel, PlutoTV, Xumo and Samsung TV Plus.
