“It sets the scene and introduces the characters, and the long-form series will expand on that.” “The short-form series is sort of a prequel, in a way” says Ferly CEO Laura Nevanlinna. Storylines for both the short- and long-form series build on the world of the online game, creating new opportunities for existing fans to interact with the brand. Ferly and Star Stable are currently looking for distribution partners. The Finnish animation studio will co-produce the show with Germany’s Atmosphere Media, with financing provided by Stockholm-based Star Stable. Pre-production on the long-form series will begin later this year, with 2022 earmarked for episode delivery. The web series, also called Mistfall (pictured), launched at the tail end of 2020 and has amassed more than eight million views to date. Mistfall (26 x 22 minutes) will expand on a package of 10 x five-minute shorts that are already airing on YouTube.
Star Stable Entertainment and Ferly are getting back in the saddle with a new long-form series inspired by horseback riding online game Star Stable.
