The Saddle Club Series Begins Production

Frog Box and Red Monk Studio, in association with Studio Moshi and ZDF Studios, have begun production on a 26-episode adaptation of The Saddle Club.

“We are delighted to announce the adaptation of The Saddle Club into an animated series for the very first time,” said Stanislas d’Arc, managing director and producer of Frog Box. “Our ambition is to pass on the iconic world of a franchise that has inspired generations of horse lovers and outdoor adventure fans to a new generation of children worldwide. With an outstanding creative team and such wonderful partners by our side, we are confident that The Saddle Club has a bright future ahead.”

Aimed at children ages 6 to 12, the series is based on the literary franchise created by Bonnie Bryant. It was commissioned by France Télévisions, Rai and ZDF, with Superprod and Red Monk serving as production studios. Superights is handling worldwide distribution.

“Launching production on The Saddle Club is a major milestone,” commented Pedro Citaristi, CEO and producer of Red Monk. “This iconic property deserves a new life for today’s generation, and working with Frog Box, Superights and our European broadcasters allows us to raise the creative ambition. Our goal is a modern, cinematic series that stays true to the spirit of the books.”
