About the show

An ordinary kid is about to become an extraordinary hero following his mission to save the entire galaxy!

When Tunde sprouts wings and learns that his father is a ferocious alien warrior, he’s all that stands between the galaxy and total destruction – suddenly homework and school aren't all he has to contend with. Luckily, his rag-tag group friendship group have his back, and with his new powers, Tunde’s ready to fly in the face of danger –  this is his destiny.

Adapted by Arvind Ethan David from Sir Lenny Henry’s hilarious book, The Boy with Wings is an interstellar, action-packed adventure about friendships, being brave, and how our differences are our super-power.
