DHX’s Mega Man Series Lands on Sony’s Pop

The first season of DHX Media’s new animated show Mega Man: Fully Charged is slated for linear broadcast and VOD streaming by Sony’s Pop on its channels and services in the U.K., Ireland, the Isle of Man, Malta and Iceland.

Pop has premiered Mega Man: Fully Charged on its new on-demand app, which is available through PlayStation 4. The action-packed series is due to debut on the linear channel early next year. It is an original DHX Media co-production with Dentsu Entertainment USA.

“As the leading commercial kids’ broadcaster in the U.K., Pop is the ideal platform to extend the international reach of Mega Man: Fully Charged,” said Josh Scherba, the president of DHX Media. “Our creative teams have delivered a fantastic update on the classic Mega Man, and we believe fans new and old are sure to love immersing themselves in these new adventures. With international broadcasters on board, its own YouTube channel on WildBrain, and a terrific line of toys expected next year, Mega Man: Fully Charged is poised to take the world by storm.”
