Gaumont-Alphanim On Board for Teen Days

VINCENNES/ROME: Gaumont-Alphanim is joining Italy’s Cartoon One as co-producer for the second season of the animated series Teen Days.

The 26×30-minute series is directed by Maurizio Nichetti. The first season was produced by Cartoon One in co-production with Rai Fiction.

In addition to joining as a co-producer on the second season, Gaumont-Alphanim will further be in charge of distributing Teen Days season one in Europe (except for Spain, Portugal, Greece, the U.K., Ireland and Italy), Asia (except for Japan), South America, French-speaking Africa and the Middle-East. Gaumont’s animation subsidiary will also handle the licensing and merchandising rights in French-speaking Europe.

“We strongly believe in the potential of Teen Days, which concept will be of great appeal on the international market," said Clément Calvet, the CEO of Gaumont-Alphanim. "Its story line, pace and target audience also make it a perfect fit for Gaumont-Alphanim’s portfolio of series and brands.”

“We are happy to have such an important partner as Gaumont-Alphanim,” added Angelo Poggi, producer and composer of Teen Days’ music with Giovanni Cera. “This partnership will help make this Italian production a worldwide success. We are also positive that Teen Days’ second season will highly interest international TV channels and will bring excellent results.”
