IDW has put the full force of the company’s publishing and entertainment operations into the development launch of Team Spirit, an original comedy for kids 6-11 created by Tshepo Moche, Raffaella Delle Donne, and Marc Dey, a trio of Cape Town, South Africa-based writer-producers who have gained industry recognition for handling the creative on behalf of a wide array of global animated successes for Disney, eOne, Baobab Studios, Wekids, Snipple Animation, Netflix, Cartoon Network/Boomerang, Cbeebies, Urucu Media, Zodiak Kids, Illuminated Films and Triggerfish Animation Studios.
Moche, Delle Donne and Dey are currently serving as the creative team behind the Disney+ preschool animated series Kiya and the Kimoja Heroes, a co-production with eOne Entertainment, Triggerfish, Frog Box, Entertainment Media, TeamTO and France Télévisions that was created by Marc Dey and Kelly Dillon.
Team Spirit follows the comedy adventures of a middle school girl who also happens to be a were-hyena and her best bud – a hulking dancing demon – who form their own cheer squad to show that despite their typical teen angst (and atypical supernatural oddities) they have enough Team Spirit to just about raise the dead.
