Amazon Debuts Original Live-Action Kids Series "Just Add Magic" on January 15

Based on Cindy Callaghan's book of the same name, Just Add Magic stars Olivia Sanabia, Abby Donnelly, Aubrey Miller and Judah Bellamy, and is executive produced by Andrew Orenstein

SEATTLE -- Dec. 8, 2015 -- (NASDAQ: AMZN) - Amazon today announced its brand-new original live-action kids series aimed at children aged 6 through 11, Just Add Magic, is scheduled to premiere on Friday, January 15 on Prime Video in the US and UK. Based on Cindy Callaghan's book of the same name, Just Add Magic is a single-camera live-action series executive produced by Andrew Orenstein (Malcolm in the Middle) and Joe Nussbaum (George Lucas in Love, Awkward) and directed by Nussbaum. Starring Olivia Sanabia (Extant), Abby Donnelly (Suburgatory), Aubrey Miller (Austin & Ally), and Judah Bellamy (Home), the series follows Kelly (Sanabia) and her two best friends Darbie (Donnelly) and Hannah (Miller) as they stumble upon a mysterious cookbook in Kelly's attic and discover the recipes in this book are far from ordinary - they're magical.

In the premiere episode of Just Add Magic, when it's revealed that this ancient cookbook may not have shown up by accident, Kelly and her friends attempt to use the recipes to release Kelly's grandmother from a powerful curse, and soon realize that every recipe they make comes with a hefty price. As they work together to uncover more clues around Grandma's mystery, they learn that they can't always cook their way out of every problem. The season finds the trio unraveling the mystery in how to save Kelly's grandmother, but along the way they serve up magical dishes that are more than just sweet confections: a Lost and Found-ue spell to bring the neighbors' dog back, a Bitter Truth Truffle that makes Kelly's mother become excessively honest and Mind Peering Peppermints to learn more about who cursed Grandma.

"We're thrilled to debut Just Add Magic to our customers next month, and feel the storytelling and sensibility of the show will be a welcome addition to our live-action slate," said Tara Sorensen, Head of Kids' Programming at Amazon Studios. "Kids will connect with Kelly, Darbie and Hannah as they embark on a journey to unlock the mystery behind the magic determined to lift Kelly's grandmother's curse."

"It's exciting to see the novel Just Add Magic adapted to the screen," said Cindy Callaghan. "Kelly, Hannah and Darbie are really fun girl-next-door types, and I think today's kids and tweens will enjoy sharing in their adventures."
