The series sees eras collide as the universe time-drifts from today\u2019s world back to the \u201980s, when electric-guitar solos were all the rage.<\/p>\n<p>In <em>Rock Girl<\/em>, musical misfit Stevie Simone just wants to rock while the other kids are listening to hip hop, dance and pop. When she\u2019s given a vintage guitar that has the power to bring rock \u2018n\u2019 roll back as long as she promises to believe in herself and not touch the red switch, Stevie flips the switch, sending herself back to 1984. There, she discovers she\u2019s the rock star she always dreamed she\u2019d be\u2014but that it comes at a cost.<\/p>\n<p>Mojumbi\u2019s Gerrard and Alexander are currently collaborating with Sphere Media on the recently greenlit animated comedy adventure series <em>Riley Rocket<\/em> for TVOkids.<\/p>\n<p>Gerrard said: \u201cI have had the honor of collaborating on some of the world\u2019s most successful kids\u2019 shows, from <em>Dora<\/em> to <em>Hannah Montana<\/em>. But what most people don\u2019t know is that Mladen and I were on the brink of success as the next Bon Jovi back in the \u201980s, just as the world lost its love for big-haired rock \u2018n\u2019 roll. Now, thanks to Sphere, we\u2019ve been given a chance to create our own time machine and go back to save our own rock \u2018n\u2019 roll dreams. And this time, we\u2019re turning it up to 11!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Marlo Miazga, Sphere Media\u2019s president, unscripted, kids and family English content, added: \u201cAfter a period of what might be diplomatically described as \u2018change,\u2019 Sphere Media\u2019s engines are starting to purr very nicely. What excites me is the range, scope and ambition of our output. From last month\u2019s Peabody Award for our gender-identity dramedy <em>Sort Of<\/em> through our diverse factual-entertainment development slate to our very own musical time machine for young adults, we\u2019re delivering on every level.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sphere Media and Mojumbi Entertainment have extended their development partnership with the new project Rock Girl, a kids\u2019 live-action musical series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":23480,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[6585,6586,6587],"class_list":["post-23479","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-mojumbi-entertainment","tag-rock-girl","tag-sphere-media","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Sphere Media &amp; Mojumbi Team Up for Rock Girl - 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\/sphere-media-mojumbi-team-up-for-rock-girl\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Sphere Media &amp; Mojumbi Team Up for Rock Girl - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Sphere Media and Mojumbi Entertainment have extended their development partnership with the new project Rock Girl, a kids\u2019 live-action musical series.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/sphere-media-mojumbi-team-up-for-rock-girl\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-07-15T14:05:08+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-07-15T14:59:46+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/07\/rock-girl-mojumbi-sphere-0722.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"420\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/sphere-media-mojumbi-team-up-for-rock-girl\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/sphere-media-mojumbi-team-up-for-rock-girl\/\",\"name\":\"Sphere Media &amp; Mojumbi Team Up for Rock Girl - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-07-15T14:05:08+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-07-15T14:59:46+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/sphere-media-mojumbi-team-up-for-rock-girl\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/sphere-media-mojumbi-team-up-for-rock-girl\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/sphere-media-mojumbi-team-up-for-rock-girl\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Sphere Media &amp; Mojumbi Team Up for Rock Girl\"}]},{\"@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\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
