“We are pleased to be unveiling our new Tricon Kids & Family division, featuring both acquired content and new projects in development. Tricon has a proven track record producing quality children’s programming such as our award-winning kids’ format The Next Star, now in its sixth hit season on YTV. The launch of Tricon Kids & Family is a natural next step as we move into producing and distributing children’s content in all genres, on a global level. Strategic partnerships are an integral part of our growth as we launch our first fully animated series Wildernuts, produced by Kavaleer Productions, and Markle Productions’ live-action/animated series JiggiJump. Currently in development is our new animated bridge preschool series for kids 4 to 7, Go Away Unicorn!, which is a coproduction with Mercury Filmworks. We look forward to announcing additional projects and collaborations over the course of the next year.” —Jon Rutherford, Senior VP, Distribution & Business Development
