Barcelona-based studio Peekaboo Animation (I, Elvis Riboldi; Mironins; Audrey’s Shelter) announces it has taken on a new television series adaptation of Roser Capdevila’s The Triplets, the popular book series launched more than 30 years ago. Anna, Teresa and Helena will return to the small screen in two seasons of 2D-animated adventures, currently in advanced development.
“We are very happy to participate in a project like this one, which involves adapting a national animation classic for a new generation of boys and girls,” says Iván Agenjo, Co-Founder & CEO at Peekaboo Animation. “The universe of Roser Capdevila and the values associated with the series are known in more than 160 countries and in 35 languages, they have captivated several generations so far and have enormous market potential.”
Javier Galán, Co-Founder & Chief Creative Officer, adds, “For us it is a great responsibility to preserve the essence and spirit of Roser Capdevila’s original work, but, at the same time, it is a great creative challenge that inspires us and gets us excited.”
The Triplets narrates the adventures of Anna, Teresa and Helena, three nine-year-old sisters who will meet interesting characters from History thanks to the eccentric Bored Witch and her omnipresent pet, the Owl. In their adventures, the twins will show us the funniest aspects of these characters, they will live adventures and will solve mysteries that will make them learn and grow together to the audience.
The project, which consists of two seasons of 26 x 11’ each, has already been commissioned by leading by leading Spanish kids’ channels CLAN (from RTVE) and SX3 (from 3CAT).
Mar Gaya will continue to be involved as executive producer of the project alongside the Peekaboo team and in charge of international distribution.
Peekaboo Animation, winners of the Cartoon Tributes award for Producer of the Year at the 2022 Cartoon Forum, will attend MIPTV in Cannes next week, representing this and other projects in its development pipeline.
