Jade Armor Lands Second Season

TeamTO’s martial arts series Jade Armor has been picked up for a second season, with more international sales and licensing deals underway.

The 26×22-minute second season is being made in partnership with France Télévisions and Germany’s Super RTL. Production is ongoing, and delivery is planned for the first quarter of 2025.

Seasons one and two are managed by distribution outfit APC Kids. In China, Youku has acquired Mandarin and English VOD rights for the first season.

Corinne Kouper, executive producer for TeamTO, commented, “With season two, we are very excited about diving deeper into the characters’ story arcs and personal journeys which make them so endearing. Jade Armor is a series which, as well as being spectacular and funny, focuses on what it’s like to be a teenager today.”

The production of a second season and success of the first has triggered concrete plans for licensing, with discussions on publishing, toys and video games in progress.

“We have been in talks about a video game for consoles and PC with Plug In Digital, our partner on the many successful Angelo Rules games; development of the game should begin very soon,” said Patricia de Wilde, director of marketing and new business for TeamTO. “We have also initiated discussions with toy manufacturers and publishers, together with licensing partners in Germany and France. We have a style guide with beautiful designs for Jade’s armor and the Beasticons, ideal for games, toys, costumes, plush, publishing, stationery and promotions. The aim is to have the first product ranges in stores by the end of 2025.”
