9 Story partners with Baobab on first Roblox to TV series
9 Story is co-developing and coproducing an adaptation of Baobab Studios' Momoguro games, as well as providing distribution, financing and merchandising support.
Toronto-headquartered 9 Story Media Group has inked a deal to co-develop and coproduce its first-ever TV series based on a Roblox game.
The company will join forces with Baobab Studios (The Witchverse, Baba Yaga) to turn the latter’s Momoguro games, where creatures use magical powers to fuse together and become powerful beings, into an animated series for six- to 12-year-olds.
A spokesperson for 9 Story said that the “companies will both use their creative, development and production experience and 9 Story also brings its distribution, financing, and merchandising experience to the deal.”
Martin Allais and Nico Casavecchia (BattleScar) created the IP with Baobab. In the TV series, two kids born on opposite sides of an ancient feud learn to work together to transform their world for the better.
Momoguro’s two Roblox games, Momo Quest and Ragdoll Obby, have collectively racked up more than 21 million visits.
