The ABC and UKTV have picked up Wizards vs Aliens, the new children’s series co-written by Russell T. Davies (Doctor Who, Torchwood, The Sarah Jane Adventures, Queer as Folk) and Phil Ford (Doctor Who).
The series follows the adventures of two 16-year old schoolboys, Tom and Benny, who battle to save Earth from the Nekross, an alien race.
The series is a co-production between BBC Wales and FremantleMedia, and is seen as a replacement for The Sarah Jane Adventures following the death of Elisabeth Sladen.
It premiered in the UK in October.
