WildBrain Scores Sales for Summer Memories

WildBrain has secured a round of international sales for Summer Memories, created by Adam Yaniv (Night at the Museum, Alvinnn!!! and the Chipmunks).

The broadcasters on board for season one, which will be presented at Kidscreen Summit, are Prime Video in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, ABC in Australia and Showmax in Africa.

Aimed at 6- to 12-year-olds, Summer Memories follows Jason as he looks back on the most pivotal summer of his life. The summer is a time of change for Jason, but charismatic adventurer Ronnie helps him get through it.

The series is produced by A&N Productions, Aircraft Pictures and Yeti Farm Creative. It stars the voices of Tricia Black (Second City, Baroness von Sketch Show), Taylor Love (The Kids in the Hall, Most Dangerous Game), Andre Sills (Private Idiots, Coriolanus), Rashaana Cumberbatch (Shoresy, American Gods) and Yaniv, with recurring guest stars Jason Priestley (Beverly Hills 90210, Private Eyes) and Andrew Phung (Run the Burbs, Kim’s Convenience).

Summer Memories is commissioned by WildBrain Television’s Family Channel and is produced with the financial participation of the Canada Media Fund, Shaw Rocket Fund and the Jerusalem Film & Television Fund at the Jerusalem Development Authority.

“Summer Memories is an original, irreverent and laugh-out-loud series with lots of heart, which we’re finding is a genre in-demand from buyers and viewers around the world,” said Caroline Tyre, VP of global sales and rights strategy at WildBrain. “Since launching on our own Family Channel in Canada last summer, the series has been captivating kids and families in equal measure. We’re now welcoming these new channels and streamers on board and look forward to seeing Jason and Ronnie’s time- and space-bending adventures charm international audiences.”
