Big Bad Boo Strikes Deal with Mediacorp Singapore for "Galapagos X"

VANCOUVER, Dec 14, 2022 - Big Bad Boo Studios announced today their partnership with Singapore's national media network Mediacorp on the new Children's TV series Galapagos X. In this deal Mediacorp has acquired exclusive rights to air the new environmentally themed animated series on its free-to-air Singapore TV channel Okto on 5.

Created by Shabnam Rezaei, the Galapagos X is currently in production at Big Bad Boo Studios with commissioning broadcasters TVOKids, SRC Radio-Canada, Knowledge Kids, and TFO. Additional partners Shaw Rocket Fund and the Canadian Media Fund are also part of the financing. The current season is for 26 X 11-minute episodes, targeting an audience of 6-to-11-year-olds. The Mediacorp deal also includes rights for Mediacorp to be the sole distributor of Galapagos X in more than 20 Asian territories.

"Galapagos X is a global series that deserves international partners who can bring the positive messages of preserving our planet to every kid. With Mediacorp now on board as our partner, we will ensure a wide reach," said Shabnam Rezaei, co-founder of Big Bad Boo Studios.

Galapagos X sees four explorers from the future and their blue-footed bird as they set off t prevent future environmental problems from happening, by finding the source in the present day. Set to air in 2023, Galapagos X will be trekking new territory- both literally and figuratively- as Big Bad Boo is developing an interactive virtual reality component that sees its audience explore different ecosystems in addition to creating a traditional television series and digital storybook.

"We are glad to work with Big Bad Boo Studios to distribute Galapagos X to audiences in Asia. With critical issues like environmental sustainability and climate change facing the world today, being a part of the Galapagos X project enables Mediacorp to continue raising awareness of the importance of saving our planet among young viewers," said Lee Hung Sheng, Head of Audience & Partnerships, Mediacorp.

Featuring Odd Squad's Millie Davis as the lead character Orchid, Gavin MacIver-Wright as young Quinn Crock, and Riverdale's Nathalie Boltt as the power-hungry social media mogul Doc Crock, Galapagos X features notable and extremely talented actors whose experience range from live action films and series to theatre.
