Corus Entertainment’s Nelvana Studio has started production Trucktown, a new boys preschool CGI animated series picked up by Treehouse Canada.

The show, which follows the adventures of a group of rough and tumble young trucks, is based on the series of bestselling books written Jon Sciezka and published by Simon & Schuster.

The series “embraces the excitement of playing together on the playground with a lot of noise and rambunctious fun,” said Ted Ellis, Vice President, Programming, Kids and Family in a statement, adding that it is “turbo-charged to connect with boys.”

Treehouse, a Canadian 24-hour preschool channel owned by Corus, has greenlit forty episodes of the half-hour long show, with delivery set for spring 2014.
