"Galapagos X"
Big Bad Boo Studios announced the official greenlight for season 2 of their original animated action-adventure series, "Galapagos X". Commissioning partners TVOKids, SRC Radio-Canada, Knowledge Kids, and TFO have ordered another 26 11-minutes of the zany time-travel show featuring Odd Squad’s Millie Davis as Orchid and Riverdale’s Nathalie Boltt as the power-hungry media mogul Doc Crock. This season introduces her evil twin, Countess Crock, taking the comedy and climate-saving adventures to new heights.
“We are so excited to introduce Countess Crock and her gang of disgruntled part-time evil-doers” said Shabnam Rezaei, the show creator. "Galapagos X" sees four explorers from the future and their blue-footed booby bird as they set off to prevent future disasters, by finding the source in the present day. The series garnered two nominations this year at Prix Jeunesse and won three Telly Awards, including a Gold for Best Children’s series. "Galapagos X" features notable and extremely talented actors whose experience range from live-action films and series to theatre. They include Alex Barima as Zeph, Alexandra Quispe as Rae, Darius Willis as Oshie, Gavin MacIver-Wright as Quinn, and Alessandro Juliani as Dr. Fixx.
The television series counts the Shaw Rocket Fund and the Canadian Media Fund as additional partners. Season 1 is airing in Canada on TVOKids and Knowledge Kids in English, and on TFO and SRC Radio-Canada in French. The show also airs on Mediacorp’s public TV channel Okto in Singapore, as well as Edye, VmeKids in Spanish. It will be launching later this year in German on ORF Austria.
Big Bad Boo has developed an interactive storybook which reveals the backstory of the gang. They are also working on an interactive virtual reality component that sees its audience explore interesting ecosystems around the globe.
