The sixth season of Operation Ouch! is being offered by Serious Lunch to international buyers at the market in Cannes.

Genevieve Dexter, the company’s founder and CEO, says the series “continues to be an extremely strong brand for us.” The show was recently picked up by Germany’s ZDF, and the local format in the Netherlands has been a hit.

Dexter adds: “Operation Ouch! is so clever and funny, it is able to transcend the usual boundaries limiting the distribution of factual entertainment.”

The English version of Studio Ghibli’s Ronja, the Robber’s Daughter is another highlight. “Ronja, the Robber’s Daughter is the only long-form animated series to come from the renowned Studio Ghibli,” says Dexter. “We are seeking a U.S. home for Ronja and Horrible Science on TV and home video now that the Amazon original holdbacks are coming to an end. We would also love to place Operation Ouch! and Art Ninja in the U.S. as well as in more Latin American territories.”
