Girl power is undeniably what the world needs, now and in the future. Fast-forward to the year 3000, a time of cyber and digital chaos where the world is entangled in its own creation. The show is set amidst this mayhem, with menacing robots running rampant and the world teetering on the brink of collapse. Just when hope seems lost, a hero emerges to save the Ultraverse from destruction: Mai
Acclaimed Saudi writer Loulwa Alireza, known for works like Ajwan (Shahid) and Mirlo & the Magical Opus, masterfully captures the everyday struggles of a superpowered teenage girl. Her storytelling poignantly addresses the societal challenges of self-doubt and mental awareness, making the show resonate with young audiences everywhere as they confront the intricacies of their world.
Integral to the series’ development is talented British writer Amelia Fergusson, known for her work on My Little Pony and Deer Squad. Her contributions to the script bring a rich, international perspective to the show, enhancing its appeal and depth. The show’s themes of resilience, identity, and overcoming adversity, combined with captivating adventures and contemporary Arabic elements, make it a must-watch for any animation enthusiast.
We are constantly seeking original content with global appeal that connects with audiences, regardless of their age or varied experiences. We are thrilled to have found a promising partner in RFK Global, showcasing impressive talent and a strong commitment to entertainment.
