THE HUB TV NETWORK PICKS UP NEW ORIGINAL ANIMATED SERIES
"SABRINA: SECRETS OF A TEENAGE WITCH" FOR SUMMER 2013
Ashley Tisdale to Voice the Title Role
LOS ANGELES - The Hub TV network, a destination for kids
and their families, announced today that the pop culture
phenomenon SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH will return to
television in the all-new original animated series,
"Sabrina: Secrets of a Teenage Witch." Actress, singer
and High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale will lend her
voice to the lead character of Sabrina. Currently in
production and slated to premiere in the summer of 2013,
the series will feature the iconic teen character
re-imagined for a new generation.
The animated "Sabrina: Secrets of a Teenage Witch" series
was acquired by The Hub and produced by Moonscoop, Archie
Comic Publications, Inc., DSK Group, India, Laughing Lion,
and Telegael Teoranta. Writer Dean Batali ("What's Up
Warthogs," "That 70's Show," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer")
will be story editor and Trevor Wall ("Hero 108") will
serve as director for the series.
In the upcoming series "Sabrina: Secrets of a Teenage
Witch," Sabrina is half-witch and half-human, and all
super hero as she leads two vastly different lives; one
disguised as a normal, klutzy high school student and the
other as the top sorcery student in the magical world.
When her two worlds collide, Sabrina is the only one who
has the power to battle her foes, while managing to keep
her magical identity a secret from humankind.
Ashley Tisdale is an actress and singer best known for
starring in the Emmy(R) Award-winning High School Musical
film series. The High School Musical series became a
successful franchise, which included two television films,
a feature movie, a spin-off and numerous soundtrack albums.
Tisdale's work led to a prominent voice role in the
critically acclaimed animated series "Phineas & Ferb."
Additional credits include "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody,"
"Hellcats," and, more recently, a multi-episode arc in
"Sons of Anarchy" as well as roles in feature films
including Aliens in the Attic and the upcoming Scary Movie 5.
Tisdale also runs a successful production company, Blondie
Girl Productions, and their first series "Miss Advised"
premiered on Bravo this summer.
