Mediawan Kids & Family & Elefantec Global Partner for Co-Pro

Mediawan Kids & Family and Elefantec Global have partnered to co-produce BOO!, a new family-friendly show written by Luis Mariani (Violetta).

BOO! is a live-action series for preteens that follows Mariela, a rural teenager who loves her donkey just as much as her cell phone. Mariela must restore the tourist appeal of her town’s only hotel to prevent her crush from moving to the city. With the help of her friends, she orchestrates an elaborate hoax, convincing the town that the old building is haunted by ghosts—until her plan spirals out of control.

“This new project underscores Mediawan Kids & Family’s ongoing commitment to refreshing iconic genres for new generations, and BOO! is a perfect illustration of this ambition,” said Julien Borde, president of Mediawan Kids & Family. “We have always aimed to modernize great classics for young audiences, just as we have done with The Little Prince, Little Nicholas and Robin Hood. Working with Elefantec’s experienced team, a true reference in the live-action series format, is a real source of pride for us.”

“At Elefantec, this genre is at our core, as the entire team has been producing and distributing it for over 20 years,” said Pepe Bastón, CEO and founder of Elefantec Global. “Our experience in developing this type of format for young audiences makes the alliance with Mediawan Kids & Family a natural partnership that will allow us to reach a larger market through stories with global appeal.”
