TORONTO – Corus Entertainment announced today Nelvana, its kids content producer and distributor, secured international distribution for The Hardy Boys on Disney+.
The Hardy Boys, which premiered on YTV in Canada earlier this year and on Hulu in the U.S. in 2020, is a “live-action mystery series, developed and produced in Canada by Nelvana and Lambur Productions, in association with Corus Entertainment,” according to a press release.
The show “is based on the beloved books by Franklin W. Dixon and features the principal characters in their teen years.”
Both season one (13×60 min) and season two (10×60 min) will launch in select markets outside of the U.S. and Canada in 2022 on Disney+. Season two, which just wrapped production, will also premiere in the U.S. on Hulu and in Canada on YTV and STACKTV in 2022.
Season two picks up six months after season one ends “and finds Frank and Joe (above) intertwined in yet another complicated mystery when a local Bridgeport teen goes missing and a duplicitous corporation moves into town,” the press release reads.
“We are so excited for audiences around the world to experience The Hardy Boys series, whether it’s their first introduction to the franchise or they’re fans of the original books,” said Mellany Masterson, head of Nelvana Enterprises, in the press release.
“Disney+ is the perfect platform to connect families and teens internationally with the high-stakes adventure, compelling storylines and endearing characters that resonate so well with audiences.”
