Janice Burgess Obituary & Net Worth at Death

American television executive, scriptwriter, and producer Janice Burgess worked for Nickelodeon. She was the creator of the Nick Jr. show The Backyardigans and contributed to Nickelodeon’s Winx Club revival as a writer and story editor. Production for both programs took place at the Nickelodeon Animation Studio.

Burgess was not fond of traveling “in art circles with collectors and high society,” according to an interview with Investor’s Business Daily. As a result, she pursued a new job following her time in college.

For the entire four seasons of The Backyardigans, Janice Burgess was executive producer. When drafting the show’s episodes, Burgess looked to action movies for inspiration since she wanted to adapt suspenseful tales for a younger audience.
