Superights has acquired the global distribution rights, excluding mainland China, for Princess Sam Pictures’ Tara Duncan.

Based on the books by Sophie Audouin-Mamikonian, the series follows Tara, an ordinary girl from Earth, who travels to a magical planet to learn how to control her awakening powers. While there, she plays celestial polo games, solves mysteries, rescues people and faces villains with her friends.

Season one features 52 13-minute episodes and has already been sold to many countries, including France (Disney, Gulli), Belgium (Disney, RTBF), Finland (Nelonen), Italy (DEA Kids, Sky, Rai), Ireland (RTÉ), Latvia (LTV), Lithuania (LRT), the Netherlands (Disney), Norway (NRK), Portugal (SIC K), Switzerland (RTS), United Kingdom (ITVX), Hong Kong (Viu), Indonesia (RTV), Japan (Disney), New Zealand (TVNZ), Singapore (Mediacorp), Middle East (MBC), Israel (NOGA), Africa (Disney, Gulli) and Canada (TéléQuébec).

A second season with 52 new episodes is currently in production, with further plans for two special 26-minute episodes. The property is supported by a licensing and merchandising strategy headed by Princess Same Consumer Product.

“Superights ventures into a new genre with Tara Duncan, a strong and powerful character who adds a new dimension to our line-up,” said Nathalie Pinguet, deputy general manager at Superights. “We couldn’t be happier and more honored to welcome Tara, an icon of empowerment among all of our heroes. This adventure-fantasy series is already a hit in many countries, and I am sure we will find Tara new homes very shortly.”

Audouin-Mamikonian, founder of the Princess Sam Entertainment Group, added, “We are very happy to have an experienced partner such as Superights to help our young company, Princess Sam Entertainment Group, and its two subsidiaries, Princess Sam Pictures and Princess Sam Consumer Products, to continue to bring Tara Duncan to the world. Tara Duncan is quite unique, and we needed the skills and expertise of an executive like Nathalie to understand our needs. Now, as our super-villain Magister says, ‘Let’s conquer the world together!’”
