TORONTO: marblemedia is collaborating with TVO, City Saskatchewan, Knowledge Network and The Jim Henson Company on the production of Opie’s Home<\/em>, a spin-off of the hit preschool series Hi Opie!<\/em><\/p>\n

Opie’s Home<\/em> follows the titular 4-year-old as he discovers new things in and around his house. The 39×7-minute live-action show is currently in production in Ontario and is slated to begin airing next year. marblemedia’s Distribution360 will share the broadcast and digital distribution with Henson, which will also handle the series’\u00a0format rights and L&M around the globe.<\/p>\n

“With Opie’s Home<\/em>, we wanted to explore the fun of family life from the 4-year-old point of view,\u201d said showrunner Miklos Perlus. \u201cWith its realistic shooting style and production design, and its relatable stories and characters, Opie’s Home<\/em> is preschool comedy that parents and kids are really going to enjoy watching together.”<\/p>\n

“Opie’s Home<\/em> will help kids learn the skills required to make a smooth transition from home to kindergarten,” added Marney Malabar, the director of kids’ TV at TVO. \u201cEpisodes will feature Opie\u2019s day-to-day interactions at home, reading and playing with his family and neighbors, as well as his family routine before and after school, helping kids to be successful both inside and outside the classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n

Opie’s Home<\/em>\u00a0will feature\u00a0an interactive web experience and mobile app, in development with marblemedia\u2019s interactive team, which will be available in Canada on\u00a0the TVO Kids website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
