To celebrate its 60th anniversary, Anderson Entertainment will be releasing a multi-platform experience entitled Stingray: Deadly Uprising.
Anderson Entertainment has unveiled Stingray: Deadly Uprising, a multi-platform saga that spans audio, novellas, comic strips and a live, full-cast performance. On 13th July 2024, a kick-off event at Symphony Hall, Birmingham, will commemorate the 60th Anniversary of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson’s Stingray.
Stingray: Deadly Uprising brings to life a new chapter in the Stingray saga, told across diverse mediums, ensuring that every fan experiences the excitement in their preferred format.
Told as part of Anderson Entertainment’s newly expanded licence with ITV Studios, fans will see the return of beloved characters like Troy Tempest, Phones and Marina, while new foes emerge from the depths, aligning with Titan. Placed within the narrative of the original series timeline, this new story is an official part of the Stingray’s canon.
Jamie Anderson, managing director of Anderson Entertainment and writer of the Stingray: Deadly Uprising arc, said: “Celebrating 60 years of Stingray is not just about looking back at the incredible legacy left by my father, Gerry Anderson, but also about pushing the boundaries of storytelling into new and exciting territories. With Stingray: Deadly Uprising, we’re honouring the past while boldly navigating the future of this beloved series. We’re incredibly grateful to ITV Studios for allowing us to tell this new epic story for fans worldwide.”
Andrew Clements, range producer, said on the ambition and scope of the anniversary project: “Working on the 60th Anniversary range has been an exhilarating challenge. This project is a testament to the enduring appeal of Stingray and its ability to captivate imaginations, and we hope it will spark the same sense of wonder and excitement in today’s audiences as it did six decades ago.”
