GOODBYE HIGH SCHOOL, HELLO HIGH FASHION! CORUS' ORIGINAL SERIES GEEK GIRL DROPS EXCLUSIVELY ON STACKTV IN CANADA MAY 30

Geek Girl (10 episodes; 30 minutes per episode) hits the streaming runway as the highly anticipated new series debuts May 30 exclusively on StackTV, Corus Entertainment Inc.'s premium multichannel streaming service, in Canada. Based on the beloved, bestselling YA (young adult) novel by British author Holly Smale, the live-action adaptation of Geek Girl is a co-production between Aircraft Pictures and RubyRock Pictures, with creative support from Corus Entertainment's Nelvana, a world-leading international producer, distributor and licensor of children's animated and live-action content. The series was filmed in the United Kingdom and Ottawa last summer.

The coming-of-age series follows 16-year-old Harriet Manners, whose life is turned upside down after she is thrust headfirst into the world of fashion. Tightly wound agents, reclusive designers, impossibly high heels and a cute supermodel boy with a great smile -- socially awkward Harriet has no idea what she's in for. Emily Carey (House of The Dragon, Wonder Woman) stars as Harriet. The all-star cast also includes Emmanuel Imani (Riches, The Wheel Of Time) as Wilbur Evans, Sarah Parish (Industry, Stay Close) as Jude Paignton, Liam Woodrum (Love In Zion National) as Nick Park, Tim Downie (Outlander, Paddington) as Richard Manners, Zac Looker (A Kind of Spark) as Toby Pilgrim, Jemima Rooper (Flowers in the Attic: The Origin) as Annabel Manners, Sandra Yi Sencindiver (Foundation, The Wheel of Time) as Yuji Lee, Daisy Jelley (London Kills) as Poppy Hepple-Cartwright and introduces Rochelle Harrington as Natalie Grey.

Modelled after Smale's personal story, Harriet's character is an innovative take on neurodivergent representation. Geek Girl champions being different, while challenging the traditional assumptions of what people who occupy glamorous spaces are like.

"The story of Geek Girl resonates with many people. High school is often a place of constant struggle for acceptance and Holly Smale offers a unique perspective on the experience," said Troy Reeb, Executive Vice President of Broadcast Networks for Corus Entertainment. "We're proud to deliver this Corus Original on STACKTV - the perfect streaming home for this binge-worthy series - which will not only engage fans of the novel but introduce this heartwarming story to new fans across Canada."

Declan O'Dwyer ( Miss Scarlet & The Duke , Merlin, and Flowers In The Attic: The Origin) is the series director. Lead writer Jess Ruston joined forces with Sameera Steward, Sarah Morgan, and author Holly Smale to adapt the best-selling novel from page to screen, with additional material written by Zoe Rocha and Georgie Armour. The show is creatively produced by Zoe Rocha for RubyRock Pictures and by Anthony Leo and Andrew Rosen for Aircraft Pictures. Nelvana is distributing the series internationally.

Following the premiere on STACKTV, Geek Girl will also air on Corus' iconic kids' channel, YTV, in Canada this September.
