Australia’s ABC network has commissioned a TV adaptation of the beloved children’s book series The Treehouse, written by Andy Griffiths and illustrated by Tony Denton.
The new series will be co-produced with Werner Film Productions, with Griffiths serving as an executive producer on the project. This commission marks the second new project funded under ABC’s A$50 million (US$34.3 million) boost from the federal government, following the earlier Bananas in Pyjamas revival.
The series will follow best friends Andy and Terry as they embark on imaginative adventures inside their ever-expanding treehouse, a magical space where ordinary objects take on extraordinary possibilities and each new level of the treehouse brings fresh challenges and surprises. The story blends humor, creativity, and problem-solving, capturing the sense of wonder that has made the books so popular with children around the world.
Rachel Davis, head of development at Werner Film Productions, said the company is thrilled to collaborate with ABC again, praising the books’ clever storytelling and their global appeal. The adaptation aims to bring this cherished Australian property to life on screen, delivering high-quality scripted content for children and families.
