Netflix to Launch Karma’s World Kids’ Series

A new animated musical kids’ series, created in partnership with 9 Story Media Group and Karma’s World Entertainment, is set for Netflix.

Titled Karma’s World, the series is created by American rapper, actor, producer, entrepreneur and philanthropist Chris “Ludacris” Bridges. Aimed at kids aged 6 to 9, it tells a coming-of-age story about a young Black girl finding her voice and using it to change her world. Karma’s World was inspired by Bridges’ oldest daughter, Karma, and based on the interactive educational website of the same name created by Karma’s World Entertainment in 2009.

The series will feature original songs that tackle issues such as self-esteem, body positivity, discrimination, creativity, expressing emotions, friendship, family, leadership, celebrating differences and more. Sound design and original music are created and supervised by Bridges and James Bennett Jr. and produced by Gerald Keys.

Karma’s World is produced in partnership with 9 Story’s Dublin-based studio, Brown Bag Films, and its Emmy Award-winning Creative Affairs Group as well as Karma’s World Entertainment, Chris Bridges’s production company.

Bridges, creator and executive producer, said: “I’ve had a lot of accomplishments in my life, but everything that I’ve experienced seems to have led up to this point to where I can leave a legacy for all my daughters. Karma’s World is one of those legacies. I hope this series will show kids that there are many ways to overcome difficult situations. This show is going to move hip hop culture forward, and show young girls that they have the power to change the world. This project has been a long time in the making and I can’t wait to bring Karma’s World to the entire world.”

Angela Santomero, chief creative officer for 9 Story Media Group, added: “It has been an absolute privilege to work with Chris to bring his vision of Karma to life. Karma is a character who does not yet exist on kids’ TV. She is a powerful, empowering role model who uses her words and music to bring about change in her community. Kids who watch Karma’s World will be inspired to use creativity as a vehicle for self-expression, and the series furthers 9 Story’s commitment to creating diverse content for children that encourages them to find their voice and follow their dreams.”
