Studio 100 Media On Board Doctor Space

Studio 100 Media is collaborating with Little Airplane Productions and Fantawild Animation on Doctor Space, a new animated comedy for 4- to 7-year-olds.

The companies plan to co-invest in the production of the brand-new TV series and IP initiated by Little Airplane. Doctor Space marks the first new series that was created by Josh Selig since his New York-based studio, Little Airplane, was acquired by Studio 100.

Doctor Space follows the misadventures of a brilliant 9-year-old doctor who runs Healox, the galaxy’s first and only floating alien emergency room. The 52×11-minute show has a “soft” educational curriculum with a focus on learning through trial and error and helping others.

The pilot was written by Emmy Award-winning creator/writer/composer Billy Lopez (Welcome to the Wayne, The Wonder Pets) and the show’s educational curriculum was written by Beth Richman (Super Wings).

Selig, CEO of Little Airplane, said, “I’m thrilled to be reconnecting with Billy Lopez. He’s absolutely the funniest writer I know, and Doctor Space is the first comedy we’ve worked closely on together since The Wonder Pets. I’m really excited to see the show come to life with great partners like Fantawild and Studio 100 Media.”

Martin Krieger, CEO of Studio 100 Media, commented, “For me, Doctor Space is one of the most hilarious, whacky and witty show concepts that I have seen lately. Collaborating with the brilliant teams of Fantawild and Little Airplane on the series and IP will be extraordinary.”

Daisy Shang, executive president of Fantawild Holdings and general manager of Fantawild Animation, said, “Doctor Space is full of imagination and humor, and it has great potential to become a phenomenal space-themed hit among kids in China and all over the world. We’re very excited to be teaming up with our friends from Studio 100 and Little Airplane to co-develop this show.”
