A Productions and Cyber Group Studios’ new animated-comedy superhero adventure follows 13-year-old best friends in a futuristic city overcoming the challenges of the digital world; slated for delivery in 2024.
UK-based A Productions and Cyber Group Studios have kicked off production of a new animated adventure-comedy superhero kids’ series, Digital Girl. Commissioned by BBC (United Kingdom) and pre-sold to Super RTL (Germany) and Discovery Kids (Latin America), with delivery scheduled for late 2024.
Set in an ecological Frisco City of the future, social networks, the internet, digital bots, and viruses represent opportunities and challenges to overcome.
“We are thrilled to have begun production on this new action-packed animated series, featuring two teenage girls who will inspire and entertain young audiences as they go on an epic adventure,” said Katherine McQueen, joint managing director at A Productions. “It joins a fantastic roster of shows that our talented creative team is currently working on, so we’re very much looking forward to an exciting year ahead.”
“We’re very excited to be working with such amazing partners on Digital Girl,” added Pierre Sissmann, Chairman and CEO of Cyber Group Studios and series creator. “This is a show kids will easily relate to. The dual themes of everyday high school life and the excitement of the newest technologies will resonate with viewers, while the series’ action-packed adventure and storylines with humorous twists and turns will surely keep them entertained throughout.”
The series follows two 13-year-old best friends, Chrissie (Digital Girl) and Bella (Hack Girl), who struggle to dominate the digital networks to protect the world and their families and ensure their future. The fast pace of the multiverse, its avatars, and its altered reality create many occasions for both Digital Girl and Hack Girl to try and find the right solutions while leading normal teenage high school lives as Chrissie and Bella.
Sissmann (Gigantosaurus, Zorro the Chronicles, Taffy) is joined by co-writer Sylvain Dos Santos (Droners, Imago) and head writer Rebecca Hobbs (Sadie Sparks, Jade Armor). Cyber Group Studios has helped secure international presales financing and is attached to the series as the worldwide distributor.
