Maverick Arts Publishing has announced the launch of its new production company, Maverick Pictures Limited. Created to act as a co-production studio, Maverick Pictures will focus on developing selected Maverick books for potential film and television projects, expanding the reach of its stories to new family audiences.

The new company launches in collaboration with writer and actor Luke Bailey of A New Road Productions. Bailey is a producer on the forthcoming independent feature film The Lost Farm, directed by Ben Mole.

Steve Bicknell, Managing Director of Maverick Pictures, commented: “We are delighted to be launching Maverick Pictures Limited in partnership with A New Road Productions. We look forward to bringing Maverick’s books to life for the screen and are excited to be collaborating with Luke Bailey and his team, whose industry experience will be invaluable as we develop our upcoming live action, Dragon Girl based on the fantasy children’s books, written by Jenny Moore.”

Bailey added: “Stories about identity, courage and resilience are why we created A New Road Productions, so we are thrilled to have the opportunity to work alongside Maverick in bringing the magic and ferocity of Dragon Girl to life.”

Dragon Girl is currently in development for a 6 x 22 live action TV Fantasy series aimed at 10–13-year-olds.

Jenny Moore’s Dragon Girl fantasy series is to be published in the UK by Maverick and in the US and Canada by Sourcebooks. The release date is set for March 5th.
