Gloobinho has signed on as the latest co-production partner for the animated series MyaGo, which has secured a number of presales.

Gloobinho, the preschool channel of Globosat in Brazil, joins existing co-pro partners for the series, which include Piranha Bar (Ireland), RTVE (Spain), TV3 (Televisió de Catalunya), RTÉ (Ireland), Screen Ireland (Ireland) and BAI (Ireland). The show tells the story of Mya, a young girl whose enthusiasm infects everyone around her.

Motion Pictures has landed a raft of presales for the series. The show is currently in production with the first 52×5.5-minute season, which is ready for delivery, and a second season is expected in June 2019. Both seasons have been picked up by YLE (Finland). SVT (Sweden), TVNZ (New Zealand) and HOP! (Israel) acquired the first season. MyaGo’s first 26 episodes debuted on RTÉjr (Ireland) last July. A full series premiere is scheduled on Club Super 3 (TV Catalunya) and Clan this year, with the international broadcast rollout starting in March.

Jorge Patiño, exec producer at Motion Pictures, said: “The initial response to MyaGo has been fantastic and as we gear up to the show’s official launch, we’re delighted to have such a strong stable of broadcast partners in place, as well as experienced co-production partners. MyaGo is an incredibly sweet property, with a unique visual style, which encourages children to explore and be curious about the world around them. Its strong and courageous lead character of Mya also means the show offers an alternative heroine to the stereotypical ‘pink princess’ type of series and we’re confident it will delight young fans and their families around the world.”
