Space Nova Season Two Underway

SLR Productions is working on a second season of the original CGI animated series Space Nova for ABC ME.

The 15×22-minute season has received production funding from both Screen Australia and the Australian Children’s Television Foundation (ACTF), as well as development funding from ABC ME and Create NSW. Space Nova will be co-produced with Giggle Garage in Malaysia and distributed internationally by ZDF Studios, with ACTF representing the series across Australia and New Zealand.

Space Nova comprises 41×22-minute episodes across seasons one and two, specifically geared to a 6- to 10-year-old audience.

SLR Productions’ CEO and executive producer, Suzanne Ryan, said: “It is incredible to be back in space with season two of Space Nova and working with returning partners ABC ME, Screen Australia, Australian Children’s Television Foundation, Giggle Garage and ZDF Studios. As the number one Australian voiced animation show on ABC ME, I am thrilled to see more Space Nova on its way for kids and families and to work with the talented key creatives, cast and crew returning to make such an ‘out of this world’ and inspirational show.”

ZDF Studios’ VP Junior, Arne Lohmann, said: “We are delighted to be able to add a sequel of Space Nova to our catalog of children’s programming. It is always a pleasure to work on such exciting projects with Suzanne Ryan and her very talented team. We are convinced that our worldwide clients will be quick in securing their rights to this fabulous new season.”

Executive producer Juhaidah Jeomin added: “Giggle Garage and SLR Productions share a passion for storytelling and high-quality production values. We are very excited to continue this passion with SLR Productions and all our partners to produce the second season of the unique and fun space adventure of Space Nova.”
