Superights–the sales division of French prodco Superprod–has finalized more pre-sales for upcoming Canada-Italy copro series Home Sweet Rome!

The distributor has sold the tween sitcom to pubcasters RAI (Italy) and ARD (Germany), which will join the BBC and Canada’s Family Channel in running the live-action series after it premieres on HBO Max in the U.S. later this year, according to a news release.

Toronto-based First Generation Films (Pinecone & Pony) and Superprod’s Red Monk Studio (Nadia) in Italy are coproducing Home Sweet Rome!, which features original music in each of its 30-minute episodes.

The coming-of-age story features a 13-year-old girl in the U.S. who moves to Rome with her dad and Italian-pop star stepmother.

Home Sweet Rome! went into development in 2021 and is based on a concept by Hannah Montana creator Michael Poryes. It just wrapped filming this week and is currently in post-production.

Poryes is on board as an executive producer with showrunners Matt Huether and Courtney Walker, Red Monk’s Pedro Citaristi, First Generation’s Christina Piovesan and Superprod’s Jérémie Fajner, Clément Calvet, Doug Schwalbe and Riccardo Neri.
