World’s First Animated Reality Show for Tweens Premieres on TELETOON

• From the creators of the award winning series 6TEEN, the number one show on TELETOON, comes a truly unique reality show for kids

Fresh TV’s Jennifer Pertsch and Tom McGillis have created the first reality show for tweens that isn’t real at all – it’s animated. Total Drama Island is set in a remote summer camp in Northern Ontario where a group of teenagers are forced to endure a summer of leaky cabins, crappy food and increasingly insane challenges. Only one camper can win – the rest will walk the dreaded Dock of Shame. The half-hour series launches on TELETOON Sunday, July 8 at 8pm ET / PT with a one-hour pilot episode. The series will then air in its regular time slot of Thursdays and Sundays at 8:30pm ET / PT.
