Greenlights include two original 60-minute specials based on the beloved <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3NbmTwC\">Mattel American Girl<\/a> franchise. The first is <strong><em>American Girl: Corinne Tan<\/em><\/strong> (working title), inspired by the doll brand&#8217;s 2022 Girl of the Year and the first of Chinese descent. <em>American Girl: Corinne Tan<\/em> is produced by Mattel Television and MarVista Entertainment and is scheduled to premiere this December in the U.S. on Cartoon Network, available on HBO Max the following day. A second American Girl special, still to be announced, will follow next year.<\/p>\n<p>American Girl: Corinne Tan stars Miya Cech (Corinne), from the upcoming indie film, Marvelous and the Black Hole, and her sister Kai Cech (Gwynn), in a story about sisterhood, perseverance, and self-acceptance as they adjust to life as part of a blended family after their parents&#8217; divorce. Corinne finds new purpose along the way when she rescues a dog that, in a way, rescues her right back.<\/p><div id=\"morty-886028162\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;The live-action specials announced today capture the sweetness, the funniness, the chaos, and the messy imperfect genius of growing up and becoming who you are. Let&#8217;s face it, most of us can still relate to all those feelings which makes this content so resonant,&#8221; said Amy Friedman, head of kids &amp; family programming, Warner Bros. &#8220;These projects are a reflection of our commitment to bring in more girls and teens to HBO Max and Cartoon Network with authentic, fun, courageous, and emotional stories that speak to kids lives now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In <em>American Girl: Corinne Tan<\/em>, 13-year-old ski enthusiast Corrine Tan is still navigating her parents&#8217; recent divorce while her 10-year-old sister Gwynn, dad, mom, and stepdad Arne have adjusted to their new roles in this blended family. She discovers a new purpose when she challenges herself to train a rambunctious puppy named Flurry to become a search-and-rescue dog. American Girl: Corinne Tan tells the inspirational story of a proud big sister as she comes to understand sisterhood, perseverance, and self-acceptance. This 60-minute special is directed by Angela Tortu (Fresh Off the Boat), and stars Miya Cech (<em>Marvelous and the Black Hole, The Astronauts, Are You Afraid of the Dark<\/em>) as Corinne, Kai Cech (<em>The Longest Sleep<\/em>) as her sister Gwynn, and Michelle Krusiec (<em>Hollywood, Hawaii Five-O<\/em>) as their mom, Judy.<\/p>\n<p>Executive Producers for American Girl: Corinne Tan include Fred Soulie and Phil Breman for Mattel Television.
