Tricon Kids & Family, division of Tricon Films & Television, is pleased to announce that Mission: 4Count (8x30’) will debut on July 6th at 9pm (ET/PT) on TeenNick. The series takes viewers behind-the-scenes of the hot new boy band, 4Count, discovered and managed by media mogul, entrepreneur, and multi-faceted entertainer Nick Cannon, who is prepping the band members for stardom. Executive produced by Cannon, Mission: 4Count is produced by Tricon Kids & Family for Canada’s YTV and distributed by Tricon.
The series chronicles the members of 4Count, Aaron Scott, Ben Robinson, and brothers Adam and Kieran Ackerman, who left their homes in California to practice their musical skills abroad. Nick Cannon (America’s Got Talent host) sends the band mates on multiple missions to give them a boot camp on making it in the music industry. With their manager, Marty, the band mates do their best to keep up with a relentless schedule of rehearsals, recording sessions, and live performances, but the question remains, can they pass the test and successfully complete their assigned missions or will they be sidetracked by fun and games?
Tricon Kids & Family is the boutique division of Tricon, featuring both acquired third party content and original production. Following the success of the multi-season, award winning format The Next Star, Tricon Kids & Family specializes in developing strategic partnerships in all genres including animation, live-action scripted and reality. Launched in 2002, Tricon's distribution arm has an impressive track record of selling a broad mix of award winning programming from scripted drama and comedy, to factual and documentary, and children's and family entertainment. www.triconfilms.com
TeenNick, Nickelodeon’s 24-hour TV network exclusively for and about teens and tweens, is available in almost 72 million households via cable, digital cable and satellite. Featuring a roster of ever-popular Nick favorites, original programming and award-winning series, the brand presents an authentic teen experience, with all its emotional intensity, energy and humor, across multiple platforms and integrated social media. TeenNick and all related titles, characters and logos are trademarks of Viacom Inc. (NASDAQ: VIA, VIAB).
4 COUNT was brought together by multi-entertainer and host of America’s Got Talent, Nick Cannon. The group is making their presence known to the world in a big way with their music and captivating choreography. Adam the jokester, Kieran the old soul, Aaron the romantic, and Ben the storyteller: all four guys have been inspired to pursue their dreams. With inspirations like Justin Timberlake, Michael Jackson and the Temptations, the band released their debut album "4Count" through Sony Canada. The group is currently working on a mixtape that is set to be released later this year. In the recording studio, on the rehearsal dance floor, out in the field throwing a football—the band that works and plays together, stays together.
