Zodiak Kids and Tower 10 said they will coproduce a string of kids shows together, starting with an animated series based on the Tiger Team book series, which was created by Tower 10 founder Thomas Brezina (pictured).

The unparalleled experience of Jean-Philippe Randisi, Michael Carrington and Eryk Casemiro makes Zodiak the perfect partners to bring the diverse panoply of Thomas Brezina’s hit creations to TV audiences.”
