Production
Following the Nine Network and Southern Star's acquisition of the Hi-5 franchise in 2008, a deal was made to produce five new series of the programme featuring the "new generation" cast. Southern Star produced the first of these five series in 2009, and begun production of the second in 2010.

Noel Price returned as the executive producer for his second series, continuing the goal of capturing the innocence and magic of the program's earlier episodes. All five cast members, Lauren Brant, Casey Burgess, Fely Irvine, Tim Maddren and Stevie Nicholson, returned for the twelfth series.

The twelfth series premiered on 13 September 2010. It contained the 500th episode of Hi-5, which aired in October. The series debuted nine new feature Songs of the Week and introduced a new element in the Sharing Stories segment; a "Hidden Treasure" for viewers to search for.
