9 Story Entertainment is pleased to announce the sale of Extreme Babysitting (22 x 30’) to Nickelodeon UK. The prank reality series first launched in Canada on YTV early in 2013 and is now part of 9 Story’s portfolio with the company’s recent strategic relationship with CCI Entertainment and acquisition of CCI Kids’ family and children’s library.
Extreme Babysitting is a hidden camera reality show that takes teenagers and puts them to the ultimate test…one that they will NEVER see coming. When the “babysitter” shows up for what they think is a routine assignment, the prank unfolds… the situations – unimaginable, the reactions – priceless.
Created and produced by General Purpose Pictures in partnership with CCI Entertainment and YTV, Extreme Babysitting was recently green lit for a second season.
“Extreme Babysitting fits the Nick sensibility of full-on fun and I am sure that our audience will relish the mayhem that unfolds in the course of an episode,” said Tim Patterson, VP, Director of Programming, Nickelodeon UK.
“We are thrilled to partner with Nickelodeon in the UK,” said Natalie Osborne, Managing Director, 9 Story Entertainment. “We think Extreme Babysitting is great fun and know kids in the UK will enjoy it as much as those in Canada who’ve been making it such a big success for YTV,” added Jill Keenleyside, Vice President Distribution, 9 Story Entertainment.
