Montreal, Quebec <\/strong>(Feb. 5, 2021) \u2013 Apartment 11 is developing its second animation series after optioning the rights for the popular children\u2019s book series, Olga<\/em>, by Montreal-based author Elise Gravel.<\/p>\n

The project brings Olga, a fierce, animal-loving child scientist, to the screen for the first time, allowing school-aged viewers around the world to follow her wacky adventures.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Olga <\/em>books are loved by kids all over the world, so it\u2019s super exciting to be working with Elise Gravel to bring the observant, independent and very funny Olga to the screen at a time when kids\u2019 content has never been more popular,\u201d executive producer Jonathan Finkelstein says.<\/p>\n

The 26 x 11\u2019 animated series follows the action, adventure, suspense, gross stuff and big life changes of a slightly grumpy girl animal scientist who loves animals more than humans, even the ones who stink and pee on your shoe, until she discovers a unique species who may-or-may-not be an alien. It leads Olga to realize that some humans aren\u2019t so bad, and it takes a village to raise a Meh.<\/p>\n

Elise Gravel welcomes the opportunity to share Olga with viewers: \u201cMy fans have been asking for more Olga <\/em>stories, so I\u2019m thrilled that she\u2019s coming to the screen for the first time and can reach a wider audience through our collaboration with Apartment 11,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

The project is supported by the CMF-SODEC Predevelopment Program for Television Series Based on Literary Adaptations.<\/p>\n

About Elise Gravel<\/strong><\/p>\n

Elise Gravel was born in Montreal in 1977 and started to draw not long after her birth. In kindergarten, she was popular because she could draw princesses with long, spiral curls. Then in high school, girls asked her to draw their dream guys in their agendas. Elise became very talented at drawing muscles and chest hair, which came in handy later on when she illustrated her book Le Grand Antonio<\/em>. On the other hand, she\u2019s still pretty bad at knowing how to use an agenda properly. Later on, she studied graphic design at CEGEP*, during which she figured out that she wanted to do illustration. After her first book, Catalogue des Gaspilleurs<\/em>, she wrote and illustrated more than 30 others. One of her books, La cl\u00e9 \u00e0 molette<\/em>, won the Governor General\u2019s Literary Award in the illustration category, and since then she\u2019s become really bigheaded and brag all the time. Elise lives in Montreal with her two daughters, her husband, her cats, and a few spiders. She\u2019s currently working on diverse projects for publication in Quebec, English- speaking Canada, and in the United States. Her books have been translated into a dozen languages. She\u2019s hoping to live a long life so that she can make many, many more books, because she still has many, many more ideas.<\/p>\n
