Blue Ant Media will debut a number of Canadian titles among its offerings at MIPCOM, including a teen comedy, an adult animated series, documentaries and two in-development projects.

The global content market, which runs from Oct. 16 to 19 in Cannes, France, will mark Blue Ant’s first market appearance as a combined studio with marblemedia and Distribution360. The companies merged in a deal made public in August.

The slate includes the Prime Video and Hulu original teen comedy Davey & Jonesie’s Locker (10 x 30 minutes; marblemedia). The multiverse series (pictured), which follows two friends as they hop between alternate versions of their high school, will stream on Prime Video in Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and Hulu in the U.S. The series is created by Evany Rosen, who is also the showrunner.

Blue Ant will also launch sales for season two of Doomlands (20 x 11 minutes |10 x 22 minutes; Look Mom! Productions), Roku’s first-ever adult animated series. The series, created by Josh O’Keefe, follows owners of a mobile pub and a travelling band of bar flies as they move across a desert wasteland.

The animated action comedy Armadillo Avalanche (10 x 30 minutes; marblemedia), about an all-girl “tweenage” punk band that accidentally rips a hole in the fabric of the universe with their music, and family drama Generation Mars (8 x 60 minutes; marblemedia), which centres on a 12-year-old who is the first person born on Mars, are the two projects in development.

Armadillo Avalanche is currently in paid development with two scripts available, and available for international copro and presale partnerships. The series is created by Celeste Koon and while Evan Thaler Hickey is the showrunner. Armadillo Avalanche is being developed based on marbleKids’ original digital shorts of the same name, which was funded through the Shaw Rocket/Canada Media Fund Shorts Program, according to a news release.

Meanwhile, Robert C. Cooper of Mezo Entertainment is the showrunner for Generation Mars, which is based on a book series by Douglas D. Meredith.

On the documentary and unscripted front, Blue Ant is bringing a number of marblemedia projects to the market, including the documentary Mr. Dressup: The Magic of Make-Believe (1 x 60 minutes), which is produced by marblemedia, Hawkeye Pictures and Prime Video, in association with CBC. The doc follows the life and career of the children’s entertainer Ernie Coombs, and the CBC series Mr. Dressup.

Also on the slate are marblemedia’s CBC factual series Best in Miniature season three (10 x 60 minutes), which pits 11 artists from around the world as they build their dream home in miniature, and Race Against the Tide season four (10 x 30 minutes), a sand-sculpting competition series where participants battle each other and the tides.

Additional Canadian-produced titles are Toronto-based Grand Passage Media’s Apocalypse Plan B (1 x 60 minutes), which looks at the scientists working to geo-engineer solutions for the climate crisis, and Vancouver-based Small Army Entertainment’s History’s Most Haunted (6 x 60 minutes), a paranormal history doc.

Blue Ant will also debut three titles from its Singapore-based subsidiary Beach House Pictures, including Macaque Island (3 x 60 minutes), Silk Road from Above (3 x 60 minutes) and Neu Earth (2 x 60 minutes).
