There may be more than one, I'm not sure. But the one I've seen is from First Marathon.

I've been trying to get more info today, and what I've been able to get from my Toronto contact is that the TV property they have got is a large deal in episode/revenue/earnings terms and with well known partners. That's all he could get for now, but he was trying to find out more.

I've been trying to guess what "big deal" means and I would assume it's for at least 20 episodes or so. If it's anything like the existing deals (and using the companies figures) that would mean something between C$10mil and 12mil in revenues. That would be quite a nice addition to the roster. WHo knows, we just have to wait and see I guess.

Mainframe is working with Sony on a prime time series! My Toronto contact said there was an interview in a newspaper that mentioned this new series. That is a great partner to have and the spin-off possibilities would be endless! --Games, Toys, Movies. I'll try to find out more.
