TORONTO, ON, February 20, 2026 – Boat Rocker Studios, the award-winning independent entertainment company, has picked up the brand-new kids' live-action series Girl Troop vs Aliens, and will introduce the show to buyers at Kidscreen Summit.
Produced by Lime Pictures and commissioned by BBC Children’s and Education in the UK, Girl Troop vs Aliens (10 x 25’) is an out-of-this-world comedy adventure following a quartet of 12-year-olds who must take on some unlikely opponents: extra-terrestrials! Best friends Tilda, Kiara, Ruby, and Ginny are all members of the Brighthawks – a global outward-bound association for girls. They're preparing to host the annual summer camp and welcome troops from around the world, but they soon discover that some attendees have come from much, much further afield!

We’re so excited to present the show to buyers at Kidscreen Summit and introduce them to the brave and adventurous Brighthawks,” said Gia Delaney, SVP, Global Sales & Content, Kids & Family, Boat Rocker Studios.
