Bindi’s Bootcamp to air in US

ABC3 series Bindi’s Bootcamp will air in the US next month after a sale to Starz Kids & Family channel.

Hosted by Bindi Irwin,  it was produced by FremantleMedia Australia as an adventure series with teams of kids competing to become “Wildlife Warriors”  at Australia’s Zoo and participate in an Irwin Family conservation program.

“With Bindi’s Bootcamp, we wanted to create a show that would test kids’ mental prowess, endurance and inner strength, all while inspiring them to respect nature and conservation,” said Sander Schwartz, President, FremantleMedia Kids & Family Entertainment.

“Starz Kids & Family is dedicated to bringing unique and rich shows to families across America, and they will be the perfect home for this incredible wildlife adventure.”

“Starz Kids & Family is excited to bring such a unique and adventure filled series to our afternoon block of programming specially designed for young audiences,” says Brett Marottoli, Executive Director Programming Acquisitions for Starz.

The show is also on air in more than 15 territories across Asia on Discovery Kids, and is expected to begin later this year in Italy.
