THE SERIES WILL PREMIERE JUNE 10TH ON NOGA THE CHILDREN CHANNEL, THE LARGEST CHILDREN’S TELEVISION NETWORK IN THE COUNTRY
Los Angeles, CA (June 7, 2010) – Stern-LeMaire Productions is proud to announce that the teen hit show, “The Wannabes Starring Savvy” has secured additional international distribution and will now air in Israel on NOGA The Children Channel beginning on June 10, 2010. The largest children’s television network in the country, NOGA has over 90% regular television viewership of Israeli children 6-12 years old. After successfully premiering in Australia last fall the show now airs twice a day on ABC1 and ABC3. Created by Doreen Spicer, the original series will continue to roll out to other countries worldwide.
The television series stars the teenage musical group Savvy who recently formed a strategic alliance with The Jonas Group. Representing such talents as the Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato and Jordin Sparks, The Jonas Group now guides the careers of Savvy members Shaylen Carroll, Gabrielle LeMaire, Mariah Parks, Drew Reinartz, Alan Shaw and Andrew Bowen Stern.
The 26-episode series follows six high school students at an upscale arts academy that scoffs at their dreams of becoming singing sensations. After the principal catches the group performing in the student lounge, he sentences them to one week of detention – working for free at a local café. Fortunately for these wannabe pop stars, the daughter of the café owner shares their same dreams and talks her dad into letting the academy students rock out at the café, as long as she can join the group. He agrees, but has his own ideas of how to use their musical talents for his own profit, making them wear costumes to promote his latest smoothie creations. Fruit attire and all, the band is a hit, and they are booked to perform every week.
During the season, The Wannabes will learn to balance their high school studies with their secret life as performing artists. The six singers get into outrageous situations as they try to climb their way to the top of the pop charts, all while hiding their identity from the principal. Each episode will feature an original Savvy exclusive music video.
