Specific to Series 5a[]
- On Facebook and Twitter, on the 8th of February, 2021, a picture of One to Five in a nine-colour gradient was put up teasing the episode Now You See Us. The title on the picture says: "Breaking News! New series coming soon!", representing the fact that Series 5 was coming soon to CBeebies in 2021.
- More than two weeks later, on the 24th of February, 2021, a picture from the same episode featuring One to Nine, with all of their blocks coloured red, was put up on the same two websites.
Specific to Series 5b[]
- This article reveals some things about Series 5b. According to it, some episodes may include the following:
- The concept of Infinity.
- A fifteen-minute episode about telling time.
- Times tables up to five and the ten times table.
- However, only the latter turned out to be true, as no episodes about infinity or time would be shown. However, the fifteen-minute time episode would eventually be revealed as a Special episode that's unrelated to Series 5 at all, titled About Time, though it is only ten minutes long.
- British singer and comedian Sooz Kempner announced on Twitter that she will voice the Three and Ten times tables.
- This tweet (dated the 19th of May, 2021) announced that new Numberblocks episodes may be coming soon, although no exact date was given.
- The Learningblocks email newsletter has this description for Series 5b:
- You can always add one more... or in this case, 15 brand new Numberblocks episodes which are coming to CBeebies at 8.15am on Monday the 7th June!
Roll up, roll up, to meet some new times tables, get to know the heroes with zeroes and find out if it's possible to land a square on the moon...
You can watch these new shows on CBeebies and on the BBC iPlayer. If you haven’t already caught up with the latest Series 5 you can see it here.
For our number fans outside the UK, these brand new episodes will also be coming to YouTube Kids from the 21st June. - Notably, this talks about "heroes with zeroes" and an episode about squares landing on the moon. The latter is a bit ironic considering that Four and Nine already went to the moon.
- You can always add one more... or in this case, 15 brand new Numberblocks episodes which are coming to CBeebies at 8.15am on Monday the 7th June!
- Currently, this is the "series" that was spoiled the least by the "trailer", with it only showing clips from Now in 3D and Circus of Threes. The only two clips that were shown was Twenty-Seven reassembling herself (Now in 3D), and a photo of the Three Times Table outside the eponymous Circus of Threes.
