Digital Girl (26×22’) is set in an ecological and futuristic version of a city called Frisco City, where social networks, the internet, digital bots, and viruses represent opportunities and challenges to overcome. The series follows two 13-year-old best friends, Chrissie (Digital Girl) and Bella (Hack Girl), in their struggle to dominate the digital networks to protect the world and their families and ensure their own future. The fast pace of the multiverse, its avatars, and its altered reality will create many occasions for both Digital Girl and Hack Girl to try and find the right solution while leading normal teenage high school lives as Chrissie and Bella.
In addition to Sissmann (Gigantosaurus, Zorro the Chronicles, Taffy), the series creator, Digital Girl is co-written with Sylvain Dos Santos (Droners, Imago) and head writer Rebecca Hobbs (Sadie Sparks, Jade Armor).
