9 Story Media Group has inked a deal to co-produce its first-ever TV series based on a Roblox game. The company will join forces with Baobab Studios to turn the latter’s Momoguro games, where creatures use magical powers to fuse together and become powerful beings, into an animated series for six to 12s.
Martin Allais and Nico Casavecchia (BattleScar) created the IP with Baobab. In the TV series, two kids born on opposite sides of an ancient feud learn to work together to transform their world for the better. Momoguro’s two Roblox games, Momo Quest and Ragdoll Obby, have collectively racked up more than 21 million visits.
Baobab Studios (The Witchverse, Baba Yaga) and 9 Story Media Group are co-producing and co-developing the series. The companies will both use their creative, development and production experience and 9 Story also brings its distribution, financing, and merchandising experience to the deal.
