Cake to unveil Total Drama prequel

Total Dramarama reintroduces the characters from the previous show as toddlers

London-based children’s entertainment producer and distributor Cake is to launch the prequel to hit animated series Total Drama at Mipcom next month.

Total Dramarama (52×11’) was announced at the end of 2017 and transposes the characters from its predecessor into a daycare setting as toddlers.

The series is produced by Canada’s Fresh TV, in association with Teletoon in Canada and Cartoon Network US.

Total Dramarama premiered in the US on Cartoon Network on September 1 and will air in Canada from Sunday October 7 on Teletoon.

The franchise was created by Fresh TV’s Tom McGillis and Jennifer Pertsch and began with Total Drama Island in 2007. Cake already distributes Total Drama internationally.

“Total Dramarama is a completely new take on what is a very successful franchise. With fresh ideas and hilarious storylines, the series is aimed at a younger demographic and we are looking forward to introducing this totally random and sensational show to a brand new audience,” said Ed Galton, chief commercial officer and MD at Cake.
