Eve 2Following in the footsteps of The Sarah Jane Adventures and Wizards and Aliens, the CBBC channel has ordered a new science fiction drama, Eve, for 2014.

The thirteen half-hour episode series follows the  adventures of Eve, a sentient female robot living with a family in suburbia while trying to make sense of human life as a teenager. It was created by Tracey Beaker Returns writer Emma Reeves and production company Leopardrama’s  David Chikwe, who worked on the BBC series Missing.

CBBC executive producer Sue Nott said: “Eve’s attempts to discover the  essence of being human will resonate with every child trying to find  their place in the world. With its heady mix of adventure, mystery and  sheer fun, Eve is an exciting addition to the CBBC drama slate.”

Producer Jez Swimer, head of development at Leopardrama added: “Emma is a fabulously inventive writer, her characters are full of joy and colour. And Eve is a hugely ambitious show with bags of excitement and jeopardy as well as a curiosity for love, friendship and the future of the human race.”

The show will begin filming next summer.
