Created for the 7 years plus age group of children, the upcoming series has been titled, ‘New-Gen’. As per reports in the Variety, “The series is set in a futuristic utopia called New-Gen, which becomes threatened by a nanotech war. It follows twins who live as ordinary teenagers and nanotech-enhanced superheroes. The series is being designed as a multi-platform, multi-tech experience where viewers will be able to download an augmented reality app enabling players’ use of nanotech powers to battle various creatures from the show, and a web presence that weaves scientific fact and fiction to depict what nanotech is.”
Global kids and family content distributor Jetpack Distribution has acquired the global right of the sci-fi series. Created by J.D. Matonti and produced by J.D. and Chris Matonti along with Julia Coppola of APNG Enterprises, New-Gen is reportedly based on a 2008 Marvel Comic series.
