Sinking Ship Entertainment is working with the Australian studio Northern Pictures to co-develop Dance Spies, a live-action series for teens.

The show features a diverse cast of teen characters who embark on a journey of mystery and intrigue while attending an elite dance school. Dance Spies is created by Guy Edmonds, who co-created and co-wrote the Emmy Award-winning live-action comedy series Hardball for ABC ME in Australia.

“We are thrilled to be working with the amazing team at Northern Pictures to develop Dance Spies,” said Kate Sanagan, co-head of sales and distribution at Sinking Ship Entertainment. “We have long been fans of Northern Pictures’ vision and the company’s commitment to creating content with diverse voices and experiences, as it is very much aligned with our own at Sinking Ship.”

“I never thought we’d have a show with ‘Dance’ and ‘Spies’ in the same title, but this genre-bending series has just that—spies who dance!” said Catherine Nebauer, head of scripted for Northern Pictures. “We are thrilled to collaborate with the team at Sinking Ship, who produce and work with some of the most exciting and successful brands around the world. Their focus on creating fun and engaging content, which reflects inclusion through identifiable characters and great storytelling, makes them the perfect partner for this series.”
