Jetpack Distribution has inked several LatAm deals for various shows from its catalog, including Oswaldo, Boj, Yoko and Kazoops.

Oswaldo is now available on Netflix in parts of the region and is also airing on a variety of broadcasters, including Cartoon Network, in LatAm, Italy, the Middle East and Africa. It is also available on Gulli and Canal J in France, TV Cultura in Brazil and Disney in Southeast Asia.

The hispanic streamer Edye, which launched earlier this year in the U.S. and LatAm, has bought the rights to season one of the preschool animation Boj, which airs on multiple broadcasters, including CBeebies and RTE. It also acquired the first season of Yoko, which airs on broadcasters across the world, including TVE, Nat Geo Kids and Nickelodeon.

Mexico-based TV Azteca has acquired the rights to season one of Kazoops, another preschool series airing on channels worldwide, including CBeebies (U.K.) and Cartoonito in Italy. Nat Geo Kids has also acquired the rights to season two of Yoko.

Jetpack Distribution’s sales director, Sophie Prigent, said: “We are thrilled to find homes in LatAm for these gems! They are top-performing shows from our catalog, with a proven track record of success across the globe. This is a very important market for Jetpack, and I am excited to be attending MIP Cancun this year and looking forward to bringing more fantastic entertainment to kids and families across the region.”
