Baobab Studios and 9 Story Media Group have teamed up to co-produce and launch a new TV series for the Momoguro game-based property.

Baobab’s Momoguro Roblox games have garnered worldwide fandom with over 21 million visits and an 87 percent positivity score. The TV series will target 6- to 12-year-olds.

“We’re delighted that Momoguro‘s characters and universal theme of ‘stronger together’ has resonated with global audiences and gained such popularity with the family audience on Roblox,” said Maureen Fan, CEO and co-founder of Baobab Studios. “Our fans have told us it evokes the childhood nostalgia of Pokémon meeting Voltron. We feel there is no better partner to grow this universe independently than with 9 Story, known worldwide for scaling hit children’s programs through licensing and distribution across every major TV market.”

“We are thrilled to partner with the talented team at Baobab to bring Momoguro to new audiences as our first Roblox to TV IP,” said Vince Commisso, president and CEO of 9 Story. “Momoguro is a fresh take on the hero genre, set in a rich world where two kids, born on opposing sides of an age-old feud, find a deep connection through self-expression. Just like the game, our heroes find themselves at the heart of a societal transformation that will put the power in the hands of kids.”

The Momoguro franchise was created by Baobab Studios in collaboration with Martin Allais and Nico Casavecchia and developed for television and games by Baobab Studios. Baobab also launched the Momoguro digital collectibles game.
