I am delighted that this innovative new show is among the first to be produced in this new turnkey facility.” Already in development, production on I Am Frankie will begin in the second half of 2016. “Miami has been a content hub for Nickelodeon for some time, creating global hits such as Every Witch Way. Our talented team in Miami is truly expert at the daily serialized format – and continues to innovate their approach to both content and platforms. I Am Frankie is a fresh and different format and has incredibly talented team behind it, said Cyma Zarghami, President of Viacom’s Kids and Family Group.
