Sky has commissioned a second season of The Brilliant World of Tom Gates<\/em>, which is also headed to new markets thanks to deals put in place by WildBrain.<\/p>\n

The new season is currently in production and will be available on Sky\u2019s on-demand service Sky Kids and the streaming service NOW in the U.K. and Ireland in early 2022. Sky has also commissioned additional songs from the original Tom Gates<\/em> songwriting team (Mark Flannery, Martin Cooper, Liz Pichon) for a new standalone short-form music series that will run later this year.<\/p>\n

A 22-minute The Brilliant World of Tom Gates<\/em> seasonal special is also in production.<\/p>\n

In addition to the commission, WildBrain has secured international sales for the first season with ABC (Australia), Knowledge Network and TVOKids (Canada), JUJKO and Tuki Channel (Slovakia), E-Vision and ejunior (MENA and Pakistan), MBC Group\u2019s streaming platform Shahid (MENA) and PCCW\u2014Now TV (Hong Kong).<\/p>\n

A Sky original kids\u2019 series, The Brilliant World of Tom Gates<\/em> is based on the best-selling Tom Gates <\/em>books written and illustrated by Pichon and published by Scholastic. Pichon is also co-writer and presents the Draw It sections of the series. The Brilliant World of Tom Gates<\/em> is produced by TG Entertainment, which is jointly owned by Black Camel Pictures and Wild Child Animation, with additional investment from The National Lottery and Scottish Government through Screen Scotland, and WildBrain.<\/p>\n

Lucy Murphy, director of kids\u2019 content at Sky UK & Ireland, said: \u201cTom Gates<\/em> has been a real crowd-pleaser and has proven appeal to a broad age group of our viewers. We\u2019re really pleased to be teaming up again with Liz Pichon and TG Entertainment to bring more of Tom\u2019s adventures to life and inspire our young audiences to get creative.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ken Anderson and Arabella Page Croft of TG Entertainment, executive producers on Tom Gates<\/em>, said: \u201cIn Tom\u2019s words, it\u2019s epic that Sky Kids has commissioned another series of The Brilliant World of Tom Gates<\/em>. We\u2019ve all had such a fantastic time working on the show and are excited to be back in production again. This time we are able to spend real time together to create a series that will be better than ever!\u201d<\/p>\n

Pichon added: \u201cIt’s been really exciting to be part of the whole process of bringing The Brilliant World of Tom Gates<\/em> to life. The show is exactly the sort of program that I’d have loved and got totally obsessed with when I was a kid. And the feedback I’ve had from my readers is\u2014they feel exactly the same way. The whole show is stuffed full of creativity and fun ways to engage children and make them laugh. Everything I put in the books has been brought to life by the incredibly talented team of people that have all worked so hard to make the series brilliant. I can’t wait for everyone else to see what we’ve done for series two.\u201d<\/p>\n

Screen Scotland\u2019s Jennifer Armitage said: \u201cThis is fantastic news for Scotland-based production company TG Entertainment, and this recommission will support further significant growth opportunities for Scotland\u2019s animation sector. The Brilliant World of Tom Gates<\/em> has brought to life on screen a widely beloved character in Tom Gates and inspired children through art-and-craft projects from creator Liz Pichon, which has proven vital over the last year. It is exciting to see that the first series will also be reaching international audiences through this new deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Caroline Tyre, VP of global sales and rights strategy at WildBrain, said: \u201cThe Brilliant World of Tom Gates<\/em> has been very well received by international broadcasters, and we\u2019re delighted to support more of Tom\u2019s adventures to inspire kids with engaging storytelling and humor, delivered on-screen with the same wonderful creative style that has made Liz Pichon\u2019s books so popular.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
