Splatalot to Get French Treatment for TÉLÉTOON

BANFF: TÉLÉTOON is set to air a French-language version of the medieval-themed game show Splatalot, acquired in a deal with Distribution360.

The series, geared toward kids 8 to 12, features a larger-than-life obstacle course with teen contestants battling against costumed gladiators. The show will launch on TÉLÉTOON in French Canada this fall. marblemedia has already produced three original localized English-language versions of the game show, for YTV in Canada, BBC in the U.K. and ABC in Australia.

“We’re thrilled to be able to bring the fun of Splatalot to audiences in French Canada," said Stéphanie Röckmann-Portier, the head of sales at Distribution360. “This series is a great example of a format that works well in international markets and across different languages."
 
“TÉLÉTOON has been a longtime partner of ours, and we’re very excited to be working with them on this version of Splatalot for French Canada,” added Matt Hornburg, the series’ co-creator and partner at marblemedia. "The ratings are consistently showing that Splatalot attracts a very strong co-viewing audience of both kids and parents because it’s so much fun to watch together. This has definitely been a major contributing factor to the show’s success.”
