麻豆约拍

YouTube stars Ali A and Mimi Missfit join the line-up of new shows in a multi-genre mini-slate which includes drama, entertainment and factual content commissioned by Cheryl Taylor, Head of Content, 麻豆约拍 Children’s. The shows will be made available as ‘bingeable’ box sets living on 麻豆约拍 iPlayer beyond the traditional 30 days ensuring they are available for the teen audience whenever, wherever and however they choose to consume them.

The A List (13x30') explores universal teen concerns of friendship, romance, loyalty and betrayal in an intense powerful and addictive drama. It is set in what appears to be an idyllic island summer camp, but dark secrets will turn the holiday of lifetime into a twisted nightmare. The A List is produced by Kindle Entertainment. Executive producers are Anne Brogan (Kindle Entertainment) and Amy Buscombe (麻豆约拍). The A-List will be available on 麻豆约拍 iPlayer this autumn.

Teen Taxi (12x20') will shine a humorous and engaging light on the conversations had between teenagers and their parents as they travel in their family cars. In our hectic world, time spent in the car remains one of the last refuges of unfiltered child-to-parent conversation – a place where laughs can be had and tricky conversations raised, without digital distractions or the possibility of escape!

Teen Taxi is a two series commission and will be shown on 麻豆约拍 iPlayer. It is produced by Dragonfly with Simon Kerfoot as executive producer alongside 麻豆约拍 executive producer Hugh Lawton.

YouTube megastar Ali-A (pictured above) presents I’m Not Driving That (20x22') for 麻豆约拍 iPlayer. Young drivers who have just passed their tests have their cars revamped in a garage fitted with fixed rig cameras as celebrities drop by. This isn’t just a car transformation show - each young driver is put through their paces on a personalised advanced driving course, by a charismatic trio of driving instructors. But what will their friends and families think when their revamped cars are finally revealed? The series is produced by Endemol Shine North. Executive Producers are Kez Margrie for the 麻豆约拍 and Coral Lawson for Endemol Shine North.

Fellow YouTube influencer, Mimi Missfit, hosts Mimi Tells It Straight: Everything You Need To Know About Sex (5x20') in which a group of 15-year-olds travel to Holland to find out how Dutch teenagers learn the facts of life and everything related to sex education - from understanding their own bodies, to falling in love and taking control of their online relationships.
