Electric Entertainment, a Los Angeles-based production company, is set to bring the best-selling young adult book series, 'Secret Mission' by Dana Elazar-Halevi, to the small screen. The series, a fast-paced live-action YA thriller, blends espionage, romance, and coming-of-age drama, all set against the vibrant backdrops of major cities worldwide. This exciting announcement was made at MIPCOM, with Electric Entertainment revealing their plans to co-produce the show with The Co-Production Company, a subsidiary of France's Superprod Group, and Ananey Studios.
The series' unique blend of genres and international appeal is a testament to its potential as a teen version of the popular franchise 'Leverage'. Dean Devlin, CEO of Electric Entertainment, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, 'We couldn't be more excited to step into the Young Adult market. The book series feels like a teen version of our popular franchise 'Leverage'—full of clever twists, team dynamics, and high-stakes missions.'
The announcement also highlights Electric Entertainment's recent collaboration with Content Partners Capital (CPC), a private capital division of a leading entertainment investment company. This partnership secured $20 million in capital to support the studio's growth plans, allowing Electric to continue its rapid expansion and produce more successful television franchises. With a history of nurturing and expanding successful IPs, including 'Leverage', 'The Librarians', and 'The Ark', Electric Entertainment is poised for further success with this new investment.
