In Untitled Space Show, an almost-finished spaceship is about to
launch into space with the world’s leading scientists to
investigate a mysterious asteroid passing by earth. After
a dare gone wrong, a group of kids accidentally launch the
ship, putting them in the path of an asteroid. Without
any proper training, they embark on a journey of survival
using their smarts and friendship as their tools, as their parents
watch from back on earth and attempt to guide them to safety.
“Working with Brian, Ron and all the creative voices at Imagine
to create this project for Nickelodeon is a dream come true,”
said Brian Robbins, President, Nickelodeon. “They have an
insatiable love for storytelling and content creation that
resonates globally, and we’re excited to explore this new
adventure together for kids and families.”
“We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Nickelodeon to
expand upon Imagine’s legacy telling great stories set in space.
Dan’s vision blends real science with compelling storytelling in a
way that will engage young audiences around the world,” said
Sperber.
Imagine has a rich history telling stories rooted in space
adventure including the multiple Academy Award-winning film Apollo
13, the hybrid docuseries Mars for NatGeo, and the Emmy
Award-winning series From The Earth To The Moon for HBO. Imagine
Kids+Family was started in January of this year by Imagine
Entertainment, and is run by Sperber. The division recently
announced a partnership James Patterson’s kids division JIMMY
Books, and with LIFE to develop LIFE for Kids, an animated series
to bring history to life using images from the preeminent picture
magazine.
