MIPJunior Spotlight: Saban Brands

CANNES: Saban Brands is at MIPCOM with the classic Power Rangers franchise.

“With more than two decades of success, the series remains a constant favorite with viewers of all ages and has developed a dedicated and passionate global fan base,” says Frederic Soulie, the senior VP of global distribution and co-productions for Saban Brands. The 24th season in the franchise, Power Rangers Ninja Steel, will premiere on Nickelodeon in the U.S. in 2017.

Another highlight is Cirque du Soleil Junior: Luna Petunia, inspired by the Cirque du Soleil brand. Saban is also presenting Popples, which Soulie says draws a multigenerational audience and appeals to global buyers “due to its strong nostalgic appeal and built-in brand affinity.”

“We will also announce two exciting new co-productions,” Soulie adds. “In addition to our current portfolio of shows, we will debut five new series and a robust development slate.”
