Hardball Heads to KiKA in Germany

The live-action children’s series Hardball has been licensed by the Australian Children’s Television Foundation (ACTF) to KiKA in Germany.

The multi-award-winning Hardball is a 13-part live-action comedy exploring themes of inclusion, multiculturalism, family and friendship. The series will be dubbed into German for broadcast on KiKA.

Patricia Vasapollo, ARD HR’s head of family and fiction, said: “Many think he will never make it, but Mikey teaches them all a lesson of optimism and tenacity. Filled with fun and comedy, Hardball conveys to our young audience the underlying universal message that leading a good life starts with yourself and your positive approach towards its challenges.”

Jenny Buckland, ACTF’s CEO, added: “While Australians haven’t been able to travel this year, our TV shows can, and German kids and their families are bound to love the Hardball gang as much as we do. This positive show full of heart, is proving to be just what the world needs right now.”
