ATLANTA, March 20: The children’s live-action
comedy series My Spy Family, distributed by DECODE

Cecilia Persson, the VP of programming,
acquisition and presentation for Turner Kids, commented: “My Spy Family has been a focal part of
Boomerang’s live-action strategy since we committed to the genre in September
2007. As we strive to attract a broader audience to the channel, we are
especially proud to bring our fans 20 brand-new episodes. We are delighted to
be working alongside some exceptional British talent, and producing a show that
really resonates with British audiences.”

Anne Brogan, the director of Kindle
Entertainment, added: “We’re delighted that Turner Broadcasting has greenlit a
second series of My Spy Family. It was one of
Kindle Entertainment’s first commissions and remains one of our best, and it’s
great that it will continue to air to U.K. audiences. It’s a fantastic series,
with an excellent cast and talented production team bringing it to fruition.”
