strategic partner Planeta Junior is entering this highly anticipated project at development stage, the production is set to start this year.

The 52 x 11' hybrid sitcom show is based on the multimedia brand "The Beatrix Girls" and its toy line of collectible pop‐star dolls driven by original music, with over 23 million views on its YouTube video and was developed by Sherry Gunther Shugerman.

The sitcom show follows the adventurous lifes of best fr ends Brayden, Lark, Ainsley and Chantal- also known as the chart climbing pop band "The Beatrix Girls" ‐ who just happen to be 12 inch dolls living in a normal sized world. By combining lovable characters, cutting edge pop music and comedic storytelling, this show is crafted to become a breakout hit. The characters of "The Beatrix Girls" are musicians and role models for a new generation of empowered young girls, with great

clothes, fabulous hair, and original pop music, develo

ed by platinum‐winning songwriters and

producers. Each member of the band sings, plays a different instrument and even writes the

songs. So grab your backstage

ass, go past the velvet ropes and get ready to rock out with the

band that is awesome, fantastic-and totally made of plastic.
