Nickelodeon International and Network 10 have announced a new kids’ scripted comedy,
Taylor’s Island (working title) to be filmed in Queensland.
To screen on Nickelodeon in 2022, it marks the first-ever partnership between the two broadcasters, as part of ViacomCBS.
Produced by Fremantle, with major production investment from Screen Australia, the 20 x 22-minute action-packed comedy follows Taylor Young, a girl who is fascinated by the phenomena surrounding a mysterious island, ever since her uncle’s disappearance there.
With a gang of friends, including Nori, a wisecracking local rebel; Meesha, a tough-as-nails thrill seeker; Ellis, a hypochondriac and born worrier; and Taylor’s stepsister Lila, an aspiring vlogger, Taylor is determined to get to the bottom of the secrets and inexplicable events of the island. In the pursuit of the truth, the friends go on an adventure of a lifetime, facing endless beaches, hidden treasures, cryptic riddles, and thrilling legends waiting to be unraveled.
