Nelvana partners Julie Andrews

Corus Entertainment-owned Canadian producer and distributor Nelvana has partnered with actress Julie Andrews and her daughter to develop a TV series based on the pair’s book series about a fairy princess.

The Very Fairy Princess book series, co-created by the Sound of Music star and her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton, with illustrations from Christine Davenier, consists of eight titles, with a ninth due out later this year.

Nelvana expects to have a preschool TV series based on the property ready to air next year, with production taking place out of its studio in Toronto.

The series chronicles the adventures of Geraldine, who knows deep down that she is a very fairy princess, despite all evidence to the contrary.

“The books are all about celebrating individuality. We hope to encourage kids to rejoice in their own unique passions and talents, even if they’re different from those of their family or friends,” Andrews said.
