Highlights from the 9 Story Media Group and Scholastic Entertainment joint development slate include both established and new IPs and serve a variety of age demographics.

The Magic School Bus: Mighty Explorers is a CGI spin-off for preschool viewers based on the iconic Scholastic book series.

Juno The Jellyfish is a CG-animated family sitcom for ages 3 to 6, done in partnership with Crayola Studios, about a 6-year-old jellyfish. “With universal themes of self-discovery, a magical underwater setting and the combined brand power of Crayola and Scholastic, we see Juno The Jellyfish as a unique opportunity in the kids’ space right now,” says Alix Wiseman, senior VP of distribution and acquisitions at 9 Story.

Momoguro is a new action-based 2D series for 6- to 11-year-olds based on Baobab Studios’ popular Roblox game.

Wiseman adds, “We have a strong slate of content that we’re presenting in early 2025 across new shows in development, new acquisitions and new seasons of returning favorites.”
