Sony, Nick link for telenovela
Duo team on Mariela Romero's 'Isa TKM'
Aimed at tweens, novela will be produced in Spanish in Venezuela and dubbed into Portuguese for Nick Brazil.
Telenovela will be the first produced by a Latin American kid-targeted feevee. Most have been produced and broadcast in the region by free-to-air webs.
Written by Venezuelan playwright Mariela Romero, telenovela centers around Isabella, a teenager on the cusp of experiencing her first love, her first kiss and discovering who her real parents are.
Production begins in August; a pan-regional debut is set for winter.
Nick Latin America has been ramping up original productions following the success of its first live-action skein, "Skimo," now on its fourth season.
In June, Nick Latin America will launch a local version of Nickelodeon Brazil's youth mag show "Nickers" in Argentina and Mexico.
