TeamTO acquired NINN to develop into an animated limited series.
The kids’ entertainment leader picked up the TV, film, and licensing rights to the series of graphic novels by author Jean-Michel Darlot and illustrator Johan Pilet. The animated limited series will tell the story of Ninn, a young Parisian, who has an unusual passion for the city’s Metro. The series will follow Ninn and her origami tiger as they explore every dark tunnel and abandoned station, in the hopes of uncovering the clues she has been searching for her whole life.
Mary Bredin, creative development executive at TeamTO, said, “Stories that are grounded in locations are really appealing to me and this one is set in the Paris Metro – how surprising and intriguing is that?! Our hero’s story is at once unbelievable and yet so relatable. Adapting graphic novels is a bit of a trend right now but I think it is because they play in a darker, more dramatic space which provides a depth that isn’t normally present in a lot of animated series.”
