Dark Oracle

Dark oracle is a Canadian produced TV series that premiered in 2004 on the popular Canadian channel YTV. It was created by Jana Sinyor (Degrassi, the Next Generation), and co-developed by Heather Conkie (Amazon, Road To Avonlea). In 2005, Dark oracle won the International Emmy for Best Children's and youth program.

Dark oracle follows the adventures of 15-year-old twins Cally and Lance Stone who discover a comic book that gives them clues about the future of their lives. As they are suddenly thrust into a comic book world of danger, fear and uncertainty, the twins learn the Dark Oracle has a hidden agenda that threatens their very existence. In a unique blend of live action and comic book style animation, the two confront their animated alter egos, Violet and Blaze, who possess the uncanny ability to manipulate their future. With events in the comic book world influencing ones in their own world, Cally and Lance struggle to stay one step ahead of their dark counterparts, or face a very unpleasant fate. The stakes become higher still, with Violet and Blaze trying to escape into the real world to wreak further havoc. DARK ORACLE is a distinctive TV drama, shifting teens in and out of an exciting and perilous fantasy world.

Dark oracle stars Paula Brancati and Alex House as "Cally" and "Lance Stone", along with Jonathan Malen as "Dizzy", Lance and Cally's long-time childhood friend; Barbara Mamabolo as "Annie" Cally's best friend; and Danielle Miller as "Sage" who sparks Lance's interest.

"One of the things that drew us to Dark oracle, is that it applies a strong high concept, of a comic book coming to life, to the lives of ordinary high school kids. Visually it's going to look amazing, and it's a terrific arena for great dramatic stories as Lance and Cally have to figure out how to deal with the predictions of the comic" explains Suzanne French, producer at Shaftesbury Films.

A new season has started airing on YTV. New episodes will be broadcast on Thursday at 7:30 and repeated on Saturday at 7:30.
