Peekaboo Animation Recruits International Co-Producers for ‘The Triplets’ Reboot

Spanish production company Peekaboo Animation (I, Elvis Riboldi) and Italian production and audio postproduction studio RainFrog (Topo Gigio) have signed a coproduction agreement for the new animated adaptation of The Triplets, based on the characters created by Catalan writer-illustrator Roser Capdevila. They have also confirmed the participation of RAI, the Italian public broadcaster, as commissioning partner.

In addition, a second coproduction deal has been signed between Peekaboo and Portuguese studio Sardinha em Lata, based in Lisbon, while the broadcast rights are secured by public broadcaster RTP for this territory.

“We’re so thrilled to be part of this amazing project that will bring back such an iconic property in a brand-new animated series,” says Giuseppe Franchi, CEO of RainFrog. “This show fascinated so many children in the ‘90s in Italy, including us, and RAI is the perfect partner to reach the new generations with original stories and unmissable adventures.”

Nuno Beato, Producer/CEO of Sardinha em Lata, adds, “Our collaboration in a brand that is already established in the market is very important for the strengthening of the company at an international level, and a significant step in the history of animation production in Portugal.”

The partnerships with Italy and Portugal have been negotiated by broker and executive producer Trini Cuevas. They join a healthy roster of coproducers and commissioners of the project, including public stations RTVE and 3CAT in Spain, with the support of the Catalan Institute of Cultural Companies (ICEC).

Production is scheduled by Autumn 2025 for an initial 26 x 11′ season. The international release is expected by early 2027, in time for the 30th anniversary of the first airing of The Triplets on Catalan TV. This new adaptation will include a total of two seasons (52 episodes), aiming to follow the tremendous international success of the classic series, which traveled to over 160 countries.

The Triplets tells the story of Anna, Helena and Teresa, three curious and imaginative sisters who are magically transported to different times and places through their games. During their journeys, they encounter a variety of historical and fictional characters from all over the world, sharing countless adventures alongside the Bored Witch.

The new animated adaptation is built around the themes of helping others, solving conflicts, and overcoming obstacles through teamwork. The stories are grounded in core values such as diversity, inclusivity, positivity, respect and girls’ empowerment, presented within the framework of comedy. The new designs and format take into consideration to the needs and preferences of today’s young viewers, offering a modern twist while retaining the essence of the classic characters.

“We are committed to honoring the legacy of The Triplets while bringing fresh creativity and innovation to this new version of the show,” says Javier Galán, Co-Founder & Producer at Peekaboo.

“It’s a challenge and a great responsibility that we are delighted to take on,” agrees Iván Agenjo, also a Co-Founder & Producer for Peekaboo. “We are confident that we have found the right partners for this show, who will help us create a new classic for new audiences in Spain and abroad.”
