Additionally, Super Wish (26 x 22min), the 2D animated series produced by redknot and created by Nelvana’s very own Vanessa Esteves and Emmy® Award winning Adrian Thatcher, will debut on October 10th on Peacock in the US.

As they encounter wondrous characters and action-packed adventures, Jesse and his friends rediscover the magic of birthdays and just how great it is to be a kid.
