marblemedia, Zodiak Kids pact on new kids gameshow

Toronto-based indie producer marblemedia has joined forces with kids entertainment producer Zodiak Kids’ to continue to develop a hidden camera prank gameshow.

The 40 x 22-min series from Zodiak Kids’ U.K. production shingle The Foundation will feature kid contestants who have to predict the behaviour of their family and friends in a range of undercover pranks.

“Applying our expertise in transmedia storytelling to a hidden camera gameshow is inherently a perfect match. Together with our partners at Zodiak, this concept will resonate with audiences worldwide by delivering an entertaining experience on all platforms, including a robust second screen app,” said marblemedia co-CEO and exec producer Matt Hornburg in a statement.

Zodiak Kids will handle worldwide rights for the as-yet-untitled series except in North and South America, which will be handled by marblemedia’s Distribution360.

marblemedia is also developing new animated preschool series Snow Joe with Aboriginal programming producer Big Soul Productions, APTN and Mike the Knight creator Alexander Bar.
