Canada’s Sinking Ship Entertainment announced that production began for “Dino Dex,” the newest TV series in its beloved Dino franchise produced for Prime Video, Amazon Kids+, TVOkids, TFO, and Knowledge Network, with the support of the Shaw Rocket Fund.
After launching the “Dino Dan” series in 2008, the company then introduced “Dino Dan: Trek's Adventures” in 2013, followed by “Dino Dana” in 2017. Now, featuring Dana’s little brother Dex, Sinking Ship began production on 13 episodes of “Dino Dex,” set to be released in 2024.
“Dino Dex,” the latest entry in Sinking Ship Entertainment’s Dino franchise, follows Dex, a 9-year-old artist, disruptor, and “paleontologist in training.” Like Dan, Trek, and Dana before him, Dex uses the Dino Field Guide and has the magical ability to see dinosaurs in the real world. But Dex envisions them a little differently. Thanks to his artistic eye and thirst for knowledge, Dex wants to reconsider how dinosaurs look, how they act, what they eat, and more.
“Our Dino evolution continues! We are so excited for ‘Dino Dex’ to bring the latest and greatest (and weirdest) dino facts and action to our incredible and enduring global fans,” commented J.J. Johnson, founding partner of Sinking Ship Entertainment and creator of the Dino franchise.
“The international reach of our Dino franchise speaks to its universal appeal, and we are excited to continue expanding our footprint and bringing this imaginative world to children around the globe. From TV series, movies, live experiences, books, and toys, we have built a long lasting fulsome brand that provides a multitude of entry points for children to engage in the timeless fascination with dinosaurs,” added Kate Sanagan, Head of Sales and Distribution at Sinking Ship Entertainment.
