“Artemis Fowl” writer Eoin Colfer’s first live action original project was amongst news announced during this year’s MipJunior Keynote from BBC Studios’ Kids & Family head Cecilia Persson.
With over 25 million copies of the “Artemis Fowl” series sold, the author’s new project is being written in collaboration with screenwriter Viko Nikci.
The idea “combines a gripping high-stakes mystery with a fun gang of unlikely young heroes,” in this sci-fi series which combines action, comedy and multiple plot twists,” according to a BBC statement.
Persson also talked up a partnership with Big Deal Films to develop an animation series based on the “Little Bad Man” books about a wannabe rapper and his crew. It is written by the best-selling author and YouTube star, Humza Arshad, MBE, and his writing partner Henry White.
Another show “Flip, Flap and Zip” is in development with the Finnish company Haruworks.
