Sphere Media is building on its development partnership with Mojumbi Entertainment as the two companies collaborate on the new live-action musical series Rock Girl.

The project for children aged eight-to 12-years-old is an original creation from Mojumbi Entertainment composers and producers Matthew Gerrard and Mladen Alexander.

The composers also created recently greenlit animated comedy/adventure series Riley Rocket (30 x 11 minutes) for TVOKids, produced by Sphere Media (formerly BGM) and Sphere Animation (formerly Oasis Animation).

Rock Girl builds on Sphere’s children’s content catalogue with new YA scripted ideas, said a news release. The series features a rock-loving teenage musical misfit who gets a vintage guitar that transports her back in time to 1984.

The new series does not have a broadcaster or streamer attached, a publicist tells Playback Daily. But it signifies Sphere Media’s “engines are starting to purr very nicely” after a period of change, Sphere Media’s president, unscripted, kids and family English content, Marlo Miazga said in a release.

Miazga was previously president, executive producer of unscripted and managing director at BGM before Montreal-based parentco Sphere underwent a corporate restructure and rebrand, merging its subsidiary production companies under the umbrellas of Sphere Media (BGM, Sienna Films, Go Films), Sphere Films (WaZabi and MK2 | Mile End) and Sphere Animation (Sardine Productions and Oasis Animation).
