APC Kids has secured a deal with WarnerMedia for Roger, a 3D CGI animated comedy series aimed at kids aged 6 to 9.

The agreement includes exclusive pay-TV rights and non-exclusive nonlinear rights in Southeast Asia, Taiwan and Australia for WarnerMedia Kids brands, which include Cartoon Network and Boomerang. APC Kids holds worldwide distribution and consumer products rights for Roger, which is produced by Je Suis Bien Content for France Télévisions.

Roger is expected to air on Boomerang in Australia, Southeast Asia and Taiwan in Q4 2021.

Previous deals for the series have been secured by APC Kids with TV5 Québec (Canada), TV5MONDE (worldwide excluding Europe), Česká Televize (Czech Republic), Jetsen Huashi (China), TVB (Hong Kong), beIN(MENA) and ETB (Spain).

Roger follows the adventures of a carefree, joyful and occasionally perky little girl named Fatou and the titular clumsy alien on a tropical island. Throughout their adventures, they trigger small accidents that sometimes grow into major disasters, but almost always end on a happy note.

Lionel Marty, managing director at APC Kids, said: “Roger is such a fun, heart-warming series that takes animated comedy to a new level with lovable characters and hilarious adventures. We are delighted that WarnerMedia loves the series as much as we do and can’t wait to introduce Roger and Fatou to new audiences in the Asia Pacific on Boomerang and further extend its global footprint.”
