So today Netflix announced they're planning 7 new kids TV shows for 2016, two of which are lego-related. Here's some descriptions and titles:

“Lego Bionicle: The Journey to One” (premiering Q1 2016): Four-episode animated series based on the Bionicle franchise of buildable action figures takes place on the mythical island of Okoto, where the forces of darkness are on the move and the evil Makuta is working to cast the world into darkness.

“Lego Friends: friendship is magic The Power of Friendship” (Q2 2016): Four-episode series will feature characters from line of construction toys, following the adventures of five best friends around their hometown Heartlake City.

 There's also this image attached to the article, which may or may not be what the BIONICLE episodes will look like:

So yeah, new stuff. Whatcha think? 

EDIT: Proper press release, with longerer descriptions. It also states that the image above may actually be what the series looks like, which is... interesting.

• LEGO Bionicle: The Journey to One - Q1 2016: The LEGO Group will premiere the Netflix original series, LEGO Bionicle: The Journey to One, based on its popular LEGO Bionicle franchise and line of buildable action figures. The new storyline takes place on the mythical island of Okoto, where the forces of darkness are on the move and the evil Makuta is working to cast the world into darkness. The desperate island inhabitants enlist six heroes - called the Toa - to help save their beloved island. Only when the heroes are united, will they be able to battle the forces of evil, defeat Makuta and save Okoto. The four episode season will be available in all Netflix territories globally in early 2016.

• LEGO Friends: Friendship is Magic The Power of Friendship - Q2 2016: Another new Netflix original series for kids is LEGO Friends: The Power of Friendship featuring characters from the popular LEGO Friends line of construction toys. This series will follow the adventures of five best friends - Stephanie, Emma, Olivia, Mia and Andrea - around their hometown Heartlake City. From summer camp to the basketball court, saving their webcast or helping take care of a friend, the zany antics, adventures and missteps are made all the better by having their best friends by their side. The four episode season will premiere worldwide on Netflix in 2016.

Does it say that overtly? The image for the Friends show is from the (now old, I guess) CGI miniseries that ran on Cartoon Network, which to me is an indicator that it isn't really indicative of the style of the Netflix series.
