From the makers of the award winning animal soap Meerkat Manor comes Lemur Street - a saga of gang life in the animal kingdom that follows the joys and drama that surround the Madagascar Lemurs - every Sunday, January through March at 9pm.
This ongoing soap opera tells the story of two warring Lemur gangs who live as neighbours on the tropical island paradise of Madagascar. The gangs are each made up of 20 ring-tailed lemurs, both ruled by a dominant female, whose lives are packed with drama.
In-fighting and bullying in the jostle for dominance, roving opportunistic males trying to join the troop, babies and juveniles causing havoc and the constant threat of snakes, hawks and territory wars ensure our lemurs' lives are full of colour.
By moving to the tropical environment with a huge biodiversity of plants and animals, Lemur Street increases the visual impact of the series, while maintaining the character-driven storylines and audience empathy which proved the secret to the success of Meerkat Manor.
Stylistically blending Neighbours from Hell with the family drama of the Sopranos we look at the real life births, deaths, battles and friendships in the life of a ring-tailed lemur.
