Season Two for Huntik

AMSTERDAM: Big Bocca Productions and Rainbow S.p.A. are working on 26 new episodes of Huntik: Secrets & Seekers, for a total of 52 half-hour episodes.

The adventure property for kids aged 6 to 12 debuted in Italy on Rai Due, CW4Kids in the U.S. and in the U.K. on Jetix. The new episodes will be delivered by the end of fall 2010. Season two watches as Lok and his team of Seekers travel to the last-known whereabouts of Lok’s father, a mission that leaves them with more questions than answers.

"Having a total of 52 half-hour episodes will raise the property profile substantially and install it on a long-term basis," said Marie-Laure Marchand, the managing director of Big Bocca Productions. "Upper Deck, our trading card and master toy partner is already working on new products using new characters appearing in season two and we will be thrilled to see them on shelves in 2010."

"The great success of Huntik: Secrets & Seekers especially in Italy and in the U.S. drove us to conceive and realize the second season," added Iginio Straffi, the owner of Rainbow S.p.A. and creator of the world famous animation series of Winx Club. "The new episodes of Huntik will explore new territories all around the world, travelling through the continents. Our world is so rich of wonderful and mysterious legends belonging to the most important traditions and cultures that we cannot really stop telling our sons through this ambitious animation series."
