The live-action show is a Canada-UK coproduction between DHX Media and BBC Children’s Productions, and the new order is for 10 more episodes.

The series is executive produced by creators Blake (The Evermoor Chronicles, Hank Zipzer) and Butler (Eastenders, Hollyoaks).

The executive producers for DHX are Josh Scherba and Anne Loi, while the executive producer for BBC Children’s Productions is Spencer Campbell.

Meanwhile, the series’ first season, which premiered on CBBC in October and debuts on Family Channel this autumn, has also been picked up by Netflix worldwide, excluding the UK and Canada. It will begin streaming in October.
