Epic Storyworlds is set to produce a screen adaptation of the comic book series Guiby the Super Baby for Télé-Québec and YouTube.

Guiby follows a courageous toddler who fears nothing and takes on monsters with his friends and trusty pacifier. The adaptation will air in French on Télé-Québec and in English on YouTube.

To complement the screen adaptation, an immersive Roblox experience will give fans the chance to step into the world of Guiby.

“It’s very exciting to think that my character will come to life and win the hearts of thousands of children around the world!” said Samuel “Sampar” Parent, author and illustrator of the Guiby comic books. “Guiby’s universe is unconventional, but it has infinite potential, which I am sure will be fully realized by the creatives at Epic Storyworlds.”

Guiby is a perfect example of ‘horror’ content adapted for children,” commented Steve Couture, president of Epic Storyworlds. “Today’s young audiences crave thrills, but it’s essential to offer them content that respects their boundaries. Few producers or broadcasters dare to venture into this tricky yet rich and exciting territory! We are grateful that Télé-Québec had the vision and confidence in the concept to let us tell this unconventional story.”

Marysol Charbonneau, director of youth and family content at Télé-Québec, added, “Télé-Québec makes young audiences a priority by offering innovative programming that showcases high-quality shows developed both locally and internationally. It’s no surprise that Télé-Québec ranks among the favorite youth channels for 2- to 11-year-olds in Quebec! Today, we are thrilled to introduce them to a new production from Epic Storyworlds, which will literally keep them on the edge of their seats. Based on a Quebec comic book, the Guiby series will allow the world to discover the talent we have here.”
