News Shorts: Moonbug Short PeaKeeBoo Gets Full Series Order At CAKE, Rebroadcast Of Zee World's I Do And My Heart Knows Release Dates, And Mzansi Magic Debuts Outlaws And Ekhaya

PeaKeeBoo breathe new life

London-based distributor CAKE has inked a deal with Toikido to develop an animated PeaKeeBoo series (TBD x five minutes). This new format will build on a package of 30 x one-minute shorts that Moonbug Entertainment is launching on its Moonbug Kids YouTube channel later this year. 

CAKE is in the early stages of development on its five-minute series treatment and hasn’t locked down an animation style yet. But it will resemble Moonbug’s CG/2D-animated shorts, although Moonbug is not involved in the long-form series. 

PeaKeeBoo centers around three friends (Pea, Kee and Boo) who love to play hide-and-seek and take in all the sounds and sights of nature. CAKE and Toikido have already tapped singer-songwriter Sophie Ellis-Bextor (“Take Me Home”) to narrate the series. 

Zee World hits the snooze button

I Do follows a fun-loving girl named brought up in the USA enters Bhopal in search of her real father and stays with her foster sister's aunt who has a a son. They gradually fall in love, but his childhood friend Tanveer Baig creates obstacles for them.

My Heart Knows brings out the story about a young girl who loses her mother at a young age. It all started when her mother slipped on their balcony, and her then 18-year old father could not save her mother. Her father Atul is then arrested and grants custody to his ex-wife, Anupriya.

The rebroadcast of I Do launches 29 July replacing Zara's Nikah for the rest of Africa (excluding South Africa) while My Heart Knows replaces Second Chances in Southern Africa from 30 July. 

Mzansi Magic adds two shows 

Catch Ekhaya Backpackers, a comedy about the quirky Mthembu family turning their Soweto home into a guest house for backpackers to pay off their debt, stars Kwenzo Ngcobo, Abdul Khoza, Felix Hlophe, and Eve Rasimeni.

Meanwhile, Outlaws, is a drama series set along the Lesotho-KwaZulu-Natal border, featuring the feuding Biyela and Tseole families, starring Thembinkosi Mthembu, Lehlohonolo Mayeza, and Nirvana Nokwe-Mseleku.

Don’t miss Ekhaya Backpackers premiering on Mzansi Magic on September 16 at 20:00, followed by Outlaws on October 6 at 20:00.
