France Télévisions Picks Up Odd Squad

France Télévisions has acquired season one of the Sinking Ship Entertainment and Fred Rogers Productions series Odd Squad.

Season one launched on the Okoo platform on March 26 and is set to air on France 4 at 7:50 p.m. on weekdays and 4:50 p.m. on Saturdays.

The Emmy and BAFTA Award-winning series centers on an organization run by kids that investigates odd phenomena and uses math to put things right again.

“We are delighted to be working with a trusted and established broadcaster like France Télévisions to bring this popular kids’ brand to France,” said Kate Sanagan, Hhad of sales and distribution at Sinking Ship Entertainment. “It is great to know that this beloved series will continue to deliver a fun and educational experience to children and families internationally.”

“Thanks to our partnership with Sinking Ship Entertainment, we are thrilled to launch Odd Squad on France 4 and on our digital platform Okoo,” said Claire Heinrich, deputy head of the children and youth unit and head of acquisitions for France Télévisions. “It will complement our live-action lineup for older kids perfectly. We have no doubt that younger audiences—and others!—will also laugh out loud and learn a lot too as they join the zany adventures of these lovable and quirky characters, who use math and logical skills to solve the mysterious phenomena that they encounter.”
