Disney, France Télévisions and Germany’s Super RTL have picked up seasons two and three of the Cyber Group Studios preschool animated series Gigantosaurus.

The new seasons of the action-comedy series add 104 episodes to its catalog, including all-new songs. Season one of Gigantosaurus, currently airing on Disney Junior around the globe, will launch on France Télévisions in January 2020 and on the U.K.’s free-to-air channel Tiny POP later in the year.

The series will also be made available on other free-to-air channels internationally, including Germany’s Super RTL and Italy’s Rai Yoyo. Content from the first season will also launch on Netflix from spring 2020.

Gigantosaurus brings preschoolers along on the adventures of four young dinosaur friends as they explore their prehistoric world. Cyber Group Studios has launched an extensive licensing program for the brand. The debut collection of Gigantosaurus toys from global master toy partner Jakks Pacific is now at major retailers across the U.S., with worldwide distribution to follow in 2020. Global master publishing partner Templar is set to release more than 40 TV tie-in books over the next two years. In addition, Cyber Group Studios and Outright Games are now in production on the first-ever videogame based on the series.

Gigantosaurus has been a GIGANTIC hit with kids around the globe and we’re excited about the opportunity to bring even more of the prehistoric fun to families with Seasons 2 and 3,” said Pierre Sissmann, president and CEO of Cyber Group Studios. “Disney has been a fantastic partner and we’re looking forward to continuing to work together to achieve even BIGGER success for the Gigantosaurus brand ahead. We are also proud to have both France Télévisions and Super RTL as part of this exciting adventure.”

“Following the discovery of The Pirates Next Door series, France Télévisions is very proud to support this new French production of Cyber Group Studios, based on Jonny Duddle’s book. With the big bad Gigantosaurus, children will learn to cope with their fears and will take a leap for a new adventure in the fabulous world of Dinosaurs,” commented Tiphaine de Raguenel, head of content for young audiences and animation at France Télévisions.
