Omens Studios Opens London Hub

Omens Studios is extending its global reach with the opening of an office in London, to be led by Harry Teper, who has been appointed as managing director.

The new London base will act as Omens Studios’ preproduction hub, with all new IP development, as well as some production, being managed out of the U.K. The first two projects to be run from the London studio are Amy & the Afterlife and Dragon Lizzardo, both targeting the 13-plus demo.

Teper will manage the day-to-day running of the new London office with a specific remit of creating global brands for the company’s IP. He will also be responsible for Omens Studios’ third-party service work managed via the London office. Prior to joining Omens Studios, Teper served as senior VP of content development for digital and programming for ZooMoo at Blue Ant Media, where he developed, acquired, co-produced and commissioned content for ZooMoo.

Chi Sim Tang, CEO of Omens Studios, said: “It’s exciting to grow our business into new markets led by the creative and dynamic Harry Teper and we certainly look forward to adding to our slate of titles and produce even more amazing content for our viewers and partners from around the world. To complement our roster of preschool titles, Harry’s remit will include overseeing a robust slate of older-skewing tween comedy action IP development, including our new shows Amy & the Afterlife and Dragon Lizzardo, working with a talented and renowned international crew including Paul Nicholson (Gumball), Silas Hickey (Monster Beach, Lamputt, Ben 10), Tonel Dura and Adam Modiano (Venture Brothers, Ball Masterz).”
