The Hub Network announced a slate of new programming for its 2013-’14 season that includes four new series, two Hub Original Family Movies, and nine returning series. The announcement was made today by Margaret Loesch, president and CEO of The Hub, the fastest growing children’s cable network.
The new programming lineup includes two animated series: the new Hub Original Series, Sabrina: Secrets of a Teenage Witch, featuring the voice of Ashley Tisdale as Archie Comics’ iconic teen character re-imagined for a new generation; and an acquired series called SheZow which features 12-year-old Guy, a thrill-seeking dude trying to cultivate a macho image who inherits the superhero persona of his deceased aunt — the kick-butt, female superhero SheZow!
In addition, The Hub will have two animated Hub Original Family Movies, including Stan Lee’s Mighty 7 starring the legendary superhero creator himself, as well as an all-star lineup of voice actors; and Transformers Prime Beast Hunters: Predacons Rising, which wraps up the series’ final chapter revealing the fate of Cybertron.
Here is the complete list of the new offerings, per the company press release:
Summer 2013
Wizards vs Aliens (Hub Acquired Series – Live Action)
Created by Russell T Davies and Phil Ford — the creative forces behind “Doctor Who” and “Torchwood” — the series follows the adventures of two 16-year-old school boys, Tom and Benny, who battle to save Earth from the Nekross, an alien race. While Tom lives a seemingly ordinary life with his dad and grandmother, he hides a deep secret: his family members are wizards. Following the tremendous success of season one in the UK, “Wizards vs Aliens” will make its American debut on The Hub. The series is produced by BBC Cymru Wales and FremantleMedia Kids & Family Entertainment.
SheZow (Hub Acquired Series – Animated)
Twelve-year-old Guy Hamdon is a natural cut-up who fancies himself an extreme dude with his own catch phrase, “It’s a GUY thing.” Guy lives the dream of every rough-and-tumble boy when he discovers an awesome power ring belonging to his deceased aunt, which transforms him into a mighty superhero SheZow! There’s just one tiny catch — the ring that gives Guy his amazing super powers was only meant to be worn by a girl and the result is absolutely she-larious! Guy must use his super powers to battle mega-villains while sporting an outrageous female superhero costume, which actually ends up helping him tremendously on his own personal journey toward becoming one heck of a super man. The series is produced by Moody Street Kids & Kickstart Productions Inc.
