DeAPlaneta Entertainment has signed on Big Picture Licensing to represent Milo in the U.K. and Ireland, along with multi-territory opportunities.
This partnership comes after the confirmation of a third Milo season, which is set to begin development in the first quarter of 2025. The new episodes will continue the adventures of the titular charismatic kitten and his friends Lofty and Lark as they explore a variety of vocations.
Big Picture Licensing and DeAPlaneta Entertainment previously partnered for DeAPlaneta’s Hero Inside series.
“We are delighted to expand our partnership with Big Picture Licensing,” said Antonella Ceraso, international consumer products director at DeAPlaneta. “Milo is one of DeAPlaneta Entertainment’s franchise brands, and we are certain that Big Picture Licensing’s approach and way of working will further reinforce its position in the U.K.”
Sara Redolfi, head of licensing agents at DeAPlaneta Entertainment, added, “Our previous collaboration for Hero Inside has already proven successful, so we are very excited to explore new opportunities for Milo with Big Picture Licensing.”
“It’s a thrill and an honor to be extending our relationship with DeAPlaneta Entertainment and to be entrusted with building the licensing business for one of their leading children’s titles,” said Jason Rice, VP of global licensing at Big Picture Licensing. “Milo is a wonderfully warm, funny and upbeat preschool animation with a great platform in the U.K. and internationally, and we are looking forward immensely to working with the team at DeAPlaneta Entertainment and to onboarding a wealth of new partners.”
