J. Low. The books feature Samuel Tan Cher Lock, Singapore\u2019s greatest kid detective and his trusty robot. The stories explore locations in Singapore and around the world.<\/p>\n<p>The books, originally published by Singapore publisher Epigram Books, were also picked up in the U.S. by Andrew McMeels Publishing. The first two titles were released in the U.S. in August 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Founder and CEO of August Media Holdings Jyotirmoy Saha said, \u201cLately our titles targeted at Southeast Asian audiences have met with huge success. In that effort we had been eyeing <em>Sherlock Sam<\/em> for a long time. The book series uniquely captures the quirks and the spirit of multi-racial Singapore and Southeast Asia. It\u2019s exciting to start work on this homegrown property and make it travel even more than it already has.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Sherlock Sam<\/em> is almost folklore to the kids of Singapore,&#8221; added Edward Wee, the publisher and CEO of Epigram Books. &#8220;We are delighted that we are going to be able to tell the stories through a visual medium too. The association with August Media would be perfect for this given their track record in adaptations.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SINGAPORE: August Media Holdings has secured a licensing agreement with Epigram Books to adapt the kids\u2019 book series Sherlock Sam for film and television.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":11090,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[1946,1947,1948],"class_list":["post-11089","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-august-media-holdings","tag-epigram-books","tag-sherlock-sam","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Sherlock Sam Getting TV &amp; Movie Treatments - TVKIDS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/sherlock-sam-getting-tv-movie-treatments\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Sherlock Sam Getting TV &amp; Movie Treatments - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"SINGAPORE: August Media Holdings has secured a licensing agreement with Epigram Books to adapt the kids\u2019 book series Sherlock Sam for film and television.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/sherlock-sam-getting-tv-movie-treatments\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-10-16T05:00:52+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2016-10-16T06:22:07+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2015\/09\/Sherlock-Sam-August-Media-1016.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/sherlock-sam-getting-tv-movie-treatments\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/sherlock-sam-getting-tv-movie-treatments\/\",\"name\":\"Sherlock Sam Getting TV &amp; Movie Treatments - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2016-10-16T05:00:52+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2016-10-16T06:22:07+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/sherlock-sam-getting-tv-movie-treatments\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/sherlock-sam-getting-tv-movie-treatments\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/sherlock-sam-getting-tv-movie-treatments\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Sherlock Sam Getting TV &amp; Movie Treatments\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\",\"name\":\"TVKIDS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\",\"name\":\"Sara Alessi\",\"description\":\"Sara Alessi is the associate editor of World Screen.
