WOW! Unlimited Media Strikes Deal to Develop New Animated Series Based on NY Times Best-selling Series Parasol Protectorate
09 Mars 2021 - 12:00PM
Frederator Studios, a WOW! Unlimited Media Inc. (“WOW!” or the
“Company”) (TSXV: WOW; OTCQX: WOWMF) company, has acquired the
rights to develop a new, original animated series based on the New
York Times best-selling, award-winning steampunk urban fantasy
novel series, the Parasol Protectorate, by author Gail Carriger.
"As a massive fan of animation, I am so excited
and honored to have this series in their talented hands,” Carriger
said. “I can’t wait to collaborate and see them work their story
magic on Alexia and all her friends. I think it's going to be
ridiculously fun."
With over a million copies in print, the Parasol
Protectorate series (which includes the books Soulless, Changeless,
Blameless, Heartless, and Timeless) has been translated into more
than a dozen different languages and turned into graphic novels.
It’s a New York Times, USA Today bestseller, with Kirkus praising
the books by calling them “witty, engaging and fun.”
“Parasol Protectorate is a wickedly fun,
addictive, and refreshing paranormal adventure and will be an
incredibly exciting and wonderful addition to the animation space,”
says Frederator CEO, Michael Hirsh. The series will be executive
produced by Gail Carriger, Michael Hirsh and Kevin Kolde.
Set in anachronistic Victorian London, the
Parasol Protectorate series follows the exploits of Alexia
Tarabotti, who finds herself caught in a mystery concerning
London’s paranormal high society alongside the gorgeous Scottish
werewolf, Lord Maccoon.
