Following various casting announcements and teasers, SDG Productions is officially taking the curtain off of its ambitious animated project “The Uptown Chronicles”, releasing both an official trailer and the series synopsis.
Following the Hamilton family, led by scientist father Dre and guardian mother Maya, as their five children – gifted chef Tasha, bookish introvert Sienna, slacker son Ty, and adolescent prodigies Jordan and Keira – learn from their parents about their destinies as the descendants of an ancient magical order tasked with maintaining balance in the world.
When a mysterious threat in the form of a giant robot called Neocron appears, the children awaken their powers of super strength, telekinesis, speed, and technological manipulation to face this devastating foe.
