(London/ Toronto - 9th March 2016) Leading international content production companies Breakthrough Entertainment and Buccaneer Media announced today an Anglo-Canadian co-production agreement with Nickelodeon and YTV in Canada to create a brand new live-action series.
Ride' (20 x 30') follows the adventures of Katherine Kit Bridges when she and her Dad, Rudy, move to England for his new job at Covington Academy, an elite equestrian boarding school. Life at a new school is never easy - particularly when you are afraid to ride - but Kit will be able to handle any challenge she faces thanks to her new friend, TK .who just so happens to be the most stubborn and difficult horse at the Academy.
Ride' was created by writers Jill Girling ( Life with Derek', Satisfaction') and Lori Mather-Welch ( Would be Kings', Queer As Folk').
Executive Producers for Canada's Breakthrough Entertainment are Joan Lambur, Ira Levy, Peter Williamson, Michael McGuigan, Nat Abraham and Shelley Scarrow and Executive Producer for UK based Buccaneer Media is Tony Wood.
We love having YTV and Nickelodeon as our broadcast partners on Ride'. said Joan Lambur, Breakthrough Entertainment's Executive Vice President, Family Entertainment and Executive Producer. They both share Breakthrough and Buccaneer's vision for the series which has made this a wonderful collaboration.
We're thrilled to be collaborating with Joan and the Breakthrough Entertainment team on Ride'. I'm also delighted to be working with Nickelodeon on another major kid's live action series after the success of House of Anubis' ' said Buccaneer Media CEO Tony Wood.
With amazing partners like Breakthrough Entertainment and Buccaneer Media, we are able to tap into new talent, develop globally and jointly create fresh content for kids everywhere, said Bronwen O'Keefe, SVP, Live Action Development & Production.
We love the fish out of water story about a young North American girl, Kit, trying to fit in at an elite British equestrian school all while a mystery begins to unravel, said Jamie Piekarz, Director of Content, Corus Kids. YTV viewers will marvel at the eclectic cast, the stunning scenery and the majestic horses.
Lori, Jill and I want to thank YTV and Nickelodeon for their amazing support.
said Shelley Scarrow, Executive Producer and Showrunner.
Ride' comes on the heels of Breakthrough's last successful collaboration with Nickelodeon and YTV, the popular tween series Max & Shred.' One of their most recent productions to air on YTV in Canada was the beloved family movie Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables' starring Martin Sheen.
Ride' is Buccaneer Media's latest major commission and first kid's live-action production. Tony Wood, one of the UK's most successful drama producers, was previously Executive Producer on Nickelodeon's hit live-action mystery drama series House of Anubis'. The company is currently in production with Marcella', writer Hans Rosenfeldt's ( The Bridge') first English language drama series, for ITV.
