TORONTO and FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., April 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Transitional Forms and Family Playland today announced the launch of Simia World, bringing generative entertainment to family living rooms. Simia World is a family content series featuring original characters and educational stories, now live on connected TV across the United States.

Simia, the platform powering Simia World, was built from the ground up for kids and families, with safety embedded at every layer. Content is generated within defined creative boundaries, ensuring experiences that are brand-coherent, age-appropriate, and designed for shared screens. Unlike compute-heavy approaches to AI-generated content, Simia runs directly on existing consumer hardware, making generative entertainment sustainable at scale for the first time.

"Every generation gets a new storytelling medium. Television, cable, streaming: each one redefined how families gathered around a shared screen. Generative entertainment is that next medium. Simia is built to lead it, because we believe the future of family storytelling should be as safe as it is extraordinary." – Zina Rahman, Co-Founder and CEO, Transitional Forms

With Simia World now live within Family Playland's connected TV ecosystem, Transitional Forms is advancing a multi-phase roadmap toward real-time narrative generation and fully personalized, audience-driven storytelling experiences. With broad distribution across the United States and a growing presence within the Hispanic market, Family Playland provides the scale and reach to bring Simia's platform to a diverse and expanding family audience.

"With access to more than 23+ million households in the U.S. and growing with our content/distribution/technology partners, we believe it's our mission to make sure families have access to content that's not only educational and entertaining, but truly wholesome. We're not just creating shows, we're sharing values, culture, and a space for families to grow together." – Juan Carlos Sanchez, Founder, Family Playland
