CAKE Bringing Total Drama Prequel to Cannes

CAKE plans to present Total Dramarama, the prequel to the hit Total Drama franchise, to international buyers at this year’s MIPCOM.

Set in a daycare, Total Dramarama will reintroduce beloved cast members as young children. The 52×11-minute show is geared toward viewers between the ages of 6 and 11. It is produced by Fresh TV in association with TELETOON and Cartoon Network in the U.S.

Total Dramarama debuted on Cartoon Network in the U.S. earlier this month, and will premiere on TELETOON in Canada on October 7 at 6:30 p.m.

Ed Galton, the CCO and managing director at CAKE, commented: “Total Dramarama is a completely new take on what is a very successful franchise. With fresh ideas and hilarious storylines, the series is aimed at a younger demographic and we are looking forward to introducing this totally random and sensational show to a brand-new audience.”

Tom McGillis, co-creator of Total Drama, added: “For Total Dramarama, we decided to throw out logic and instead of a reality show competition, we now have a workplace comedy—set in a daycare. We’ve aged our famous cast down from 16 to 4 years old—and the results are hilarious!”
