New Transformers animated series greenlit by Nickelodeon & Hasbro
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Nickelodeon and Hasbro's Entertainment One (eOne) have partnered to
co-produce an original animated Transformers series (26 half-hour
episodes), based on the iconic global property. In the
action-comedy series, a new species of Transformers must find their
place and purpose among Autobots, Decepticons, and the human family
that adopts them. The series will premiere exclusively on
Nickelodeon in the U.S. before rolling out internationally.

"As soon as I read the creative concept, which at its core is about
family, I knew we absolutely had to tell this story with our good
friends at eOne and Hasbro," said Ramsey Naito, President,
Nickelodeon Animation. "The series will tell a reimagined story
featuring both original characters and fan-favorites for a whole
new generation of kids and families. The creative team at Nick,
overseen by Claudia Spinelli, SVP of Animation Development, can't
wait to get started on building this new world."

"We're thrilled to be working with Nickelodeon to expand the
Transformers animated universe and bring an all-new more than
meets the eye story to life," said Olivier Dumont, eOne's
President of Family Brands. "This new series is a fresh creative
take on the brand, which will excite longtime fans around the
world and soon to be fans alike, all being introduced to the
robots in disguise by an A list creative team led by eOne's
Mikiel Houser ."

Hasbro launched Transformers in 1984 as a toy line and animated
series. Its success led to an animated movie in 1986, many future
toy lines, and a series of live-action movies.

The all-new animated Transformers series is executive produced
by Ant Ward (Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), and
Nicole Dubuc (Transformers: Rescue Bots) and developed and
co-executive produced by Dale Malinowski (Rise of the Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles). Produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio,
the series is developed for television by Spinelli and Dana
Vasquez-Eberhardt, Senior Director, Current Series and
Development, Animation. Production will be overseen for
Nickelodeon by Conrad Montgomery, Vice President, Current
Series, Animation and for eOne by Mikiel Houser, Director of
TV Development.

The forthcoming Transformers co-production is part of
Nickelodeon's strategy to be the home of the biggest franchises
kids and families love, and it expands Nickelodeon's growing
portfolio of influential properties that already includes
SpongeBob SquarePants, PAW Patrol, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,
Blue's Clues & You!, the first-ever SpongeBob spinoff, Kamp
Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years, the all-new animated Star Trek:
Prodigy series and the recently announced The Smurfs
partnership.
