CAKE, DCM & Boulder Team for Amelia Fang

CAKE has aligned with DCM Pictures and Boulder Media on the 2D adventure comedy series Amelia Fang, which is aimed at 6- to 9-year-olds.

The series is inspired by the books written and illustrated by Laura Ellen Anderson that have sold over half a million copies in the U.K. and have been translated into 24 languages.

The show is set in an unusual world full of eccentric characters and follows the adventures of a young vampire with a big heart, Amelia Fang, and her diverse gang of friends. The initial run will comprise 48 11-minute episodes and two 22-minute specials.

Amelia Fang will be produced by DCM Pictures (Bibi & Tina) with animation led by Dublin-based Boulder Media. It will be directed by Robert Cullen (Gumball, Danger Mouse, My Little Pony). The writing team is led by Elly Brewer (Shaun the Sheep, Postman Pat, Thunderbirds, The Story of Tracy Beaker, Tracy Beaker Returns). CAKE, executive producer, will handle international distribution.

Ed Galton, CEO at CAKE and exec producer on Amelia Fang, said, “Amelia Fang is full of heart, warmth and big adventure, and we are thrilled to be working with DCM Pictures and Boulder Media in bringing her to the screen.”

Philippa Tsang, Marc Schmidheiny and Christoph Daniels at DCM Pictures and exec producers on Amelia Fang, said, “Amelia Fang is joyful, funny, and at its heart, it is a show about embracing difference in our society. We’re so lucky to be working with Elly Brewer, Boulder Media and CAKE, which have been drawn to the rich world and great characters that Laura Ellen Anderson has created.”
