16 Hudson Greenlit for Season Two

Big Bad Boo Studios is greenlighting production for the second season of its original animated series 16 Hudson.

Along with its broadcast partners TVO Kids, Knowledge Kids and CBC Radio Canada, Big Bad Boo Studios is moving forward with 39×7-minute episodes for season two of 16 Hudson as well as accompanying digital media components. Additional partners include ICI TV and the Shaw Rocket Fund. The series’ first season had a soft launch with the English public channels in Canada in the fall and is now fully launching on all channels, including on SRC Radio Canada in French-speaking Canada. Digital Media components include episodes around cultural holidays and Choose-Your-Own-Adventure games.

Aimed at the preschool-plus set, 16 Hudson has a curriculum focused on “executive function” and social-emotional skills. Its diverse cast of characters includes Lili (Iranian), Sam (Chinese), Amala (half-Indian, half-Irish), as well as Luc, who has two Dads.

Shabnam Rezaei, creator and director of 16 Hudson, said: “Making a second season of this amazing show just tells me that we have found an audience and that they love the show. We have so many more stories to tell, so I am all the more happy for this opportunity.”
