Sinking Ship Sends Annedroids & More Down Under

TORONTO: Sinking Ship Entertainment has licensed a trio of series, including the live-action hit Annedroids, to broadcasters in Australia and New Zealand.

Australia’s ABC snapped up all four seasons of Annedroids, a girl-led show that features STEM concepts. The Aussie broadcaster also went for the sophomore season of the math-themed Odd Squad and the preschool program Scout and the Gumboot Kids. In New Zealand, TV3 acquired the first two seasons of Annedroids.

Annedroids was commissioned by TVOKids in Canada and Amazon Prime for the U.S. and U.K. Odd Squad, a collaboration with The Fred Rogers Company, is from TVOKids and PBS in the U.S. Scout and the Gumboot Kids is sold by Sinking Ship and produced by Two Story Productions in association with CBC in Canada.

“We are happy to be placing these titles with lead broadcasters like ABC and TV3,” said Kate Sanagan, Sinking Ship’s co-head of sales and distribution. “All three titles provide meaningful and valuable learning experiences for children and we are glad to be working with partners in Australasia to continue to grow their presence there.”
