Toronto’s marblemedia and Vancouver-based producer Omnifilm Entertainment have announced development on a remake of ’90s TV series The Odyssey.

The original version of The Odyssey aired on CBC for three seasons, from March 1992 to December 1994, and was produced by CBC and Omnifilm Entertainment.

Simon Racioppa and Richard Elliott (Fangbone, My Babysitter’s a Vampire) are adapting the original for a scripted series, which will be distributed internationally by Distribution360. No broadcaster has been announced for the project.

The series will be overseen by marblemedia’s newly promoted VP of scripted Carrie Paupst Shaughnessy and Omnifilm Entertainment partner and executive producer Brian Hamilton.

The Odyssey is an adventure comedy about kids who wake up to find themselves in a strange forest called Downworld. With no idea how they came to be there, or how to get home, the kids quickly learn how to take care of themselves without the supervision of adults.
