Cyber Group Studios Scores New International Partners

Cyber Group Studios has signed new deals that will bring 16 of its distributed series to viewers across Europe, Asia, Africa and North America.

The new agreements follow Cyber Group’s successful launch of three series late last year, including Squared Zebra, Nefertine on the Nile and The Last Kids on Earth. ABC Australia picked up Squared Zebra, while Česká TV (Czech Republic) and HOP! (Israel) acquired Nefertine on the Nile and Lithuania’s LRT licensed The Last Kids on Earth.

New partners for Cyber Group Studios are TV3 (Spain) for Ernest and Rebecca, The Pirates Next Door and Sadie Sparks; SIC K (Portugal) for Tom Sawyer and Droners; MTVA (Hungary) for seasons two and three of Zou, Raju the Rickshaw and Tom Sawyer; LRT (Lithuania) for Mirette Investigates, The Pirates Next Door and season one of Gigantosaurus; Česká TV for Zou seasons two and three; AMC Networks International (Central and Northern Europe) for Ernest and Rebecca, Zorro: The Chronicles and Leo the Wildlife Ranger; and RTBF (Belgium) for Sadie Sparks and Ernest and Rebecca.

A raft of deals was also signed with Canal+ for several of its international channels. In Myanmar, a deal for Mirette Investigates, Leo the Wildlife Ranger and Purple Turtle was signed, and in Ethiopia, an agreement was made for Zou, Mini Ninjas and Zorro: The Chronicles for the THEMA channel.

Additionally, Cyber Group Studios secured an SVOD service deal with Bell Media for English- and French-speaking VOD rights for The Pirates Next Door, Mini Ninjas, Sadie Sparks and Zorro: The Chronicles.

Raphaelle Mathieu, senior VP of sales and acquisitions and new media at Cyber Group Studios, said, “We’re very pleased to be working with so many of the world’s leading broadcast and streaming partners that share our commitment to providing quality children’s programming to kids and families everywhere. Our expansive and diverse slate provides a rich range of content for today’s young audiences, and we look forward to working with even more producers and co-producers to make our distributed programs available to more viewers around the globe to engage with, learn from and enjoy.”
