Serious Kids and Keyframe Studios to co-produce "Cats React to Facts"

London based Serious Kids and Keyframe Studios have inked a deal to co-produce "Cats React to Facts" a mixed media comedy series for 7-12 year olds based on the series of books by Izzy Howell, published by Hachette Children’s Group and created by Asa Movshovitz and developed by Will Brenton.

Discussions are underway with potential partners internationally for this groundbreaking new series featuring "real" cats as news anchors, offering a clever and entertaining twist on social media and factual reporting.

This innovative show will blend tongue-in-cheek ignorance with captivating facts, all delivered by charismatic feline presenters. The series promises to be a mix of humour and information, enriched with a stream of fan interaction via X, Instagram, and TikTok. Viewers can easily filter the facts from the fluff and also follow their feline news anchor's personal social media account for even more behind-the-scenes engagement on social media platforms.

“This is our response to changing viewing habits for this age group, and ‘Cats React to Facts’ comes at the viewer with a very fast paced comic delivery punctuated by non-stop visual gags, all underpinned by science facts. We are looking at both linear and digital production models”, comments Keyframe’s founder Asa Movshovitz.

“We are so pleased to see the ‘Cats React To Facts’ series make the jump from page to screen. Blending irresistible humour and facts has proved to be a winning formula for this popular series, with awards including the Best Laugh Out Loud Book for 6 –8 year olds award at the Lollies and The Royal Society Young People’s Book Prize.” says Sarah Lennon Galavan, Licensing Manager at Hachette Children’s Group.

“Style is everything, and this show uses 2D/3D cut out animation blended with live action, emojis, memes and other perennial trends to deliver the most amazing facts in a laugh out loud delivery. This is such a fun project to work on with our partners Keyframe Studios who have already produced a deck, promo and 2 scripts”, says Genevieve Dexter CEO of Serious Kids.
