Nickelodeon Adds Olivia to Lineup
Nickelodeon has teamed up with media content company Chorion to bring Olivia, a new animated series based on the best-selling children’s books, to Nick Jr. Originally created by author/illustrator Ian Falconer, Olivia is a precocious piglet full of energy, self-confidence, and exuberance. As the books portray, Olivia is good at many things, but mostly she is just good at wearing out those around her.
There is no word yet as to when the series will premiere, but the first season will include 26 half-hour episodes in the US, as well as a 44 minute special. The CGI animation will stay true to Falconer’s minimalist illustrative style using the red, black, and white color scheme.
