The newly branded TeenNick (formerly The N), has started production on an original half-hour dramedy Gigantic.  Shot at various locations around Los Angeles, Gigantic is about the life of being a Hollywood “it” kid. Considering the TeenNick audience is surrounded by pop culture, I would imagine this show will hit the mark. Nickelodeon is clearly on board with this show with a 20 episode order.

Set to premiere in 2010, the series stars Meryl Streep’s 23-year-old daughter, Grace Gummer (not exactly coming of age) and Joe Mantegna’s daughter, Gia.  It also marks the first production from the new company Grady Twins formed by executive producers Marti Noxon’s (Buffy theVampire Slayer, Grey’s Anatomy, Mad Men, Point Pleasant) and Dawn Parouse Olmstead (Prison Break, Point Pleasant, Tru Calling) .  Also on board as executive producers are Reveille’s Carolyn Bernstein and Todd Cohen.  Gigantic was first brought to the network by the brother and sister team of Ben and Debby Wolfinsohn.
