Nickelodeon UK has acquired “Find me in Paris,” the popular tween drama series produced by France’s Cottonwood Media and sold by ZDF Enterprises.
Set at the iconic Parisian Garnier Opera House, “Find me in Paris” will again revolve around Lena Grisky, a time-traveling young dancer and princess poised to become the next young star of the ballet world in 1905. The ballet is choreographed by Jean Guillaume Bart, the renowned former Étoile of the Opera of Paris.
The series, which has now been ordered for a second season, is directed by Matt Bloom, and the Dublin-born brothers Ronan and Robert Burke (“Red Rock”). “Find me in Paris” stars several British actors, notably Jessica Lord (“The Next Step”), Hannah Dodd (“Harlots”), Eubha Akilade (“Eve”) and Rory Saper (“The Legend of Tarzan”), as well as Canadian actor Castle Rock (“The Descendants 2”).
“Find Me in Paris is the perfect fit for Nickelodeon UK with drama, mystery, dance and love triangles with plenty of comedy,” said Louise Bucknole, VP programming at VIMN Kids for UK and Ireland. The executive said Nickelodeon UK “will be bringing the series to (its) viewers as a real highlight.” Nickelodeon UK will start broadcasting the live-action half-hour series on Sept.17.
