Kids’ Series Little Roy Notches Up Presales

DUBLIN: The hybrid live-action/animated series Little Roy, a joint CBeebies and CBBC commission, has secured presales with broadcasters in Norway, Sweden, Finland and Belgium.

The 52×14-minute series is headed to NRK in Norway, SVT in Sweden, YLE in Finland and VRT in Belgium. These new presales follow a previous pickup from Australia’s ABC.

The show comes from the Dublin-based JAM Media and is supported by the Irish Film Board and Northern Ireland Screen. Little Roy follows the adventures of 5-year-old Roy O’Brien, who escapes into his imagination to solve everyday quandaries.

John Reynolds, the chief commercial officer at JAM Media, said: “The response to Little Roy since its debut at MIPCOM has been incredible, highlighting the show’s global appeal. We are excited that so many key broadcasters have already committed to the show and look forward to announcing further deals shortly.”
