CAKE has secured a global deal for Lucas the Spider<\/em>, a new long-form CGI animated series from Canada-based Fresh TV in association with WexWorks Media.<\/p>\n

Cartoon Network and Boomerang have partnered with CAKE on the program, which is based on Fresh TV\u2019s original YouTube shorts of the same name. Lucas the Spider<\/em> follows the adventures of the titular arachnid as he and his friends try to navigate the human world around them. A total of 78×7-minute episodes are planned.<\/p>\n

Lucas the Spider<\/em> was originally created by animator Joshua Slice as a series of animated shorts that premiered on YouTube in November 2017. The shorts amassed over 300 million views, over 3.3 million subscribers and has launched a successful line of toys and licensed goods.<\/p>\n

Ed Galton, CCO and managing director at CAKE, said: \u201cA partnership with Cartoon Network is a significant step for Lucas<\/em>. Strategically, they are the right partner for this project and together, we are looking forward to extending the brand and building Lucas into a global phenomenon. This latest collaboration is testament to the strength and success of the continuing relationship between CAKE, Fresh TV and Cartoon Network, which has spanned over 12 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adina Pitt, VP of content acquisitions and co-productions at Cartoon Network, added: \u201cCAKE and Fresh TV are some of the best partners we\u2019ve worked with and co-developing a beloved and viral short to series globally on Cartoon Network and Boomerang is a really exciting partnership to be a part of.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tom McGillis, president and executive producer at Fresh TV, commented: \u201cWe are so excited to take the magic of Lucas the Spider<\/em> to the next level. Together, we will deepen the already special relationship Lucas has with his millions of fans around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
