Simon Spencer serves as the series showrunner. "Zack and Quack" is based on Bafta-winning short film "The Happy Duckling". The short's director Gili Dolev co-created the new series with Yvette Kaplan ("Ice Age", "Beavis & Butthead").
Nickelodeon picked up the global broadcast rights for the new series, which will debut on Nickelodeon and Nick Jr channels worldwide, including Nick Jr. UK and Ireland, from early 2014, in 2012.
