Extreme Babysitting uncovered in UK

A UK broadcaster has picked up the Canadian prank reality series Extreme Babysitting, which aired locally on YTV earlier this year.

Nickelodeon UK will air the 22×30′ hidden camera series, created and produced by General Purpose Pictures in partnership with CCI Entertainment and YTV. It was recently greenlit for a second season in Canada.

The show is distributed by 9 Story Entertainment, part of the distributor’s portfolio as a result of the company’s recent strategic relationship with CCI Entertainment and acquisition of CCI Kids’ family and children’s library.

“Extreme Babysitting fits the Nick sensibility of full-on fun and I am sure that our audience will relish the mayhem that unfolds in the course of an episode,” said Tim Patterson, VP, director of programming, Nickelodeon UK.
