In Development
Luke and Kalen are psyched for their first trip outside the U.S. They just wish it wasn’t for another one of their dad’s cornball family road trips. At least this one's in another country — Ireland! — and Grampa is coming along to show them the country of his birth… for probably his last visit.
But while Dad is enthusiastically digging into their cultural heritage one pork sausage at a time, the kids notice Grampa isn’t acting himself — he’s been drifting “away with the fairies” more than usual. Before long Luke and Kalen discover their family roots go much deeper than expected, beyond quaint Irish villages, beyond the rocky landscape… beyond the leap. Are they ready to learn who they really are?
Collaboration
Tony Gama-Lobo is a veteran writer-producer-showrunner of nearly 20 years, best known as longtime co-executive producer of King of the Hill, Nickelodeon’s revival of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, and his executive producer/showrunner role on the Emmy-nominated series Santiago of the Seas.
Aidan & Colm first began collaborating with Tony back in 2022; and much of their early conversations focused on Irish mythology and lore. (Tony still thinks we’re making up the whole Salmon of Knowledge thing)
In January 2024 Tony visited Ireland and got to see some neolithic circles, ancient castles, and real life locals with his own eyes. The more we explored, the more it felt as if the ancestral DNA of the people was embedded in the landscape itself, and a spark was struck to tell a uniquely Irish tale of truly epic proportions, but with a humour and lightness of touch that one might deploy when encountering a ‘Danger: Keep Out’ sign.
I mean, you have to go beyond, right?! You have to make the Leap!
