The FINANCIAL -- Nickelodeon, the number-one entertainment brand for kids, announced today a global broadcast acquisition with Classic Media and Corus Entertainment's Nelvana for the new half-hour series, Life With Boys. 

According to Viacom, the 22-episode series created by Michael Poryes, starring Torri Webster as "Tess" and Madison Pettis as "Allie," is produced by Nelvana and Helion Pictures. The partnership covers exclusive TV rights in the US and Pay TV rights for regional Nickelodeon channels, across Europe, including Germany, Benelux, the Nordics, as well as Latin America and Asia.  Broadcast rights for the UK have been previously secured by Nickelodeon in an earlier announced deal with Helion Pictures.

Each half-hour episode follows 14-year-old Tess Foster as she navigates her way through the turmoil of teen life while living at home with her single, overprotective dad and three brothers.  Although Tess adores the four important men in her life, they do have four totally different perspectives. 

Despite the shortcomings of being the only girl in a male household, the boys can sometimes offer solid advice.  Whether it's building up the courage to talk to a boy, dealing with an obnoxious one, or coping with the repercussions of being the only girl on the boys' wrestling team, Life With Boys sheds a comedic light on many of life's difficult moments.
