On the heels of the recently announced groundbreaking co-production and distribution agreement between MarVista Ent. and Brookwell McNamara Ent. (BME), the two companies announced that they have teamed up with The N, the nighttime network for tweens and teens, on a new, multi-series production and development deal for the network. The first of three series will be 22 half-hour episodes of the original teen drama, BOARDING SCHOOL.
"We're thrilled to be working with MarVista and BME on three new, original projects," said Sarah Tomassi-Lindman, vp, programming and production, The N. "Their combined experience and expertise will make Boarding School a huge hit with our audience."
"Partnering with the multi-talented David Brookwell and Sean McNamara and developing our relationship with a network the caliber of The N, MarVista is once again certain to supply our international buyers with top-rated programs with worldwide appeal," said Michael Jacobs, MarVista's president, production and distribution. "We are looking forward to the development of a mutually beneficial long-term relationship with both of them."
"Having a solid co-production and distribution agreement with MarVista makes good sense from a business and creative view point," said BME president David Brookwell. "Add to that our new association with The N and we have a matchup that most companies would envy."
