Chinese streamer Tencent Video has greenlit its latest original production, Rainbow Bubblegem, from Chinese prodco Live Fun and Korea’s Campfire Aniworks. Set to premiere on the streamer in early 2022, the 52 x 11-minute series has also been pre-bought by Korean broadcaster EBS.
The 3D-animated fantasy is aimed at kids ages six to nine. Currently in production, Rainbow Bubblegem recounts the magical adventures of seven mermaid princesses who search for enchanted jewels to save their underwater world, while also attending a land-based school.
This new commission comes on the heels of Tencent’s recent co-pro deals with Sixteen South (The Coop Troop), Zelit Productions (Deep in the Bowl), Silvergate Media and UYoung (Kung Fu Wa!).
