YTV jumps into Korman’s Pool

Canadian kids’ TV channel YTV has begun production on an adaptation of a book from young-adult author Gordon Korman’s Macdonald Hall series.

Bruno & Boots: Go Jump in the Pool! will shoot in Hamilton, Ontario, through to the middle of August and is slated to premiere on Corus Entertainment-owned YTV in 2016.

Aircraft Pictures and YTV are producing the live-action TV movie, which stars Jonny Gray (Max & Shred), Callan Potter (Stratford Festival), Peter Keleghan (18 to Life, Murdoch Mysteries) and Caroline Rhea (Sabrina the Teenage Witch).

It follows the infamous troublemakers at Macdonald Hall Boys’ School as they test the patience of the headmaster and headmistress.

Canada’s Breakthrough Entertainment will handle international sales.

The adaptation is the third TV project based on a book by Korman, following Nickelodeon’s Swindle in 2013 and Disney Channel TV series The Jersey, which was based on Korman’s The Monday Night Football Club.
