ABC Australia has picked up New Pictures\u2019 Crongton<\/em> from All3Media International for its free-to-air channel ABC Family and on-demand service ABC iview.<\/p>\n

\u201cCrongton<\/em> is a vivid, joyful series celebrating what it means to be a young person today through exploring friendship and family identity,\u201d said Alexander Euler, commercial manager for Australia, New Zealand and pan-Asia at All3Media International. \u201cIt\u2019s captured the imaginations of audiences young and old across the U.K. We\u2019re absolutely thrilled to have ABC on board to share this vibrant journey with families all over Australia.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ten-part series chronicles the lives and journeys of a group of young people living in a multicultural community in a fictional urban housing estate. It follows as they navigate the complexities of social politics, peer pressure and identity.<\/p>\n

Crongton<\/em> aired on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer earlier this year. It is written by Archie Maddocks and based on the best-selling British novels by Alex Wheatle.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to bring the effervescent, high stakes of Crongton<\/em> to our audiences at ABC and iview,\u201d said Maria-Nicole Miriklis, acquisitions manager for children and family content at ABC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
