Ferly will produce the series with Yellow Animation with CAKE acting as co-financer and worldwide distributor.

Kingdom of None
In Kingdom Of None, Meter and his friends James, Leo, Solo and little sister Milli transform their everyday lives into imaginary worlds full of wild adventures. Mowing the lawn turns into a heroic battle and algebra troubles quickly manifest into a mighty quest. From a Viking Lord to a talking tree, reality and fantasy merge as the ordinary becomes the extraordinary through magnificent stories that bring back the joy of children’s play and celebrate kids’ imaginations and the ability to see the fantastic in the everyday.
This latest collaboration on Kingdom of None between Ferly and CAKE, one of the leading kids entertainment specialists, follows the appointment last year of CAKE’s digital arm, Popcorn Digital as Ferly’s digital partner.
“We were instantly attracted to this energetic show which puts children’s play and fantasy at its heart. Furthermore, we love that Kingdom Of None is based in everyday reality and shares a world that children will easily and lovingly identify with,” said Tom van Waveren, CEO & Creative Director at CAKE.
Ulla Junell, President of Yellow Animation. Animation Ltd based in Canada, coproducer, says: “We’re very excited to work on Kingdom of None, and look forward to making Meter’s imaginary world become a reality for a global audience.”
