In early 2008, the BBC announced a new 13-episode children's sitcom that stars Dani Harmer from The Story of Tracy Beaker series.

The popularity of the show resulted in the ordering of a second series, which was filmed in Edinburgh during the early summer of 2009, and was broadcast that autumn.

[citation needed] Dani's House has received multiple nominations from Children's BAFTA Awards .

In July 2012, the CBBC commissioned Zodiak Kids to produce a new TV comedy series starring Harmer.
