Lady Grace Mysteries (young viewers aged 8-12) is commissioned by the BBC (for CBBC), and ZDF, with a pre-sale to France Télévisions.
Manon Ardisson, Head of Fiction at Cottonwood Media, and Lead Director Alexander Jacob (Managing Director for Cottonwood Media Ltd) will oversee the production.
Lead Writer is Emmy award-winning Anna McCleery. Some of her key credits include Free Rein for NETFLIX, A Kind of Spark for CBBC/BYU, and Hollyoaks (Channel 4).
The series tells the story of Lady Grace Cavendish, the world’s first female teenage detective working as a private spy for Queen Elizabeth I and navigating the dangerous waters of royal politics in an English court full of plots, threats and mystery. Orphaned but fearless, Grace has spent her youth outwitting palace guards, avoiding the responsibilities of being a lady-in-waiting, and most importantly, finessing the fine art of swiping jam tarts! With her best friends – the savvy servant Ellie, and the dazzling performer Masou, at her side - she has to deal with the trials and tribulations of being a teenage girl, while investigating perilous mysteries.
