CANNES: The 24th season of Saban Brands’ hit Power Rangers franchise, Power Rangers Ninja Steel, debuted in January on Nickelodeon in the U.S. and will roll out globally throughout the year.

“The series appeals to buyers around the world because of its extremely passionate global fan base and core themes of teamwork, friendship and helping others that can resonate with people of all ages and backgrounds,” says Frederic Soulie, the executive VP of global distribution and consumer products for Saban Brands.

The company also has the Netflix original kids’ series Cirque du Soleil Junior—Luna Petunia and Glitter Force. “Cirque du Soleil Junior—Luna Petunia is unlike any kids’ series on television today,” Soulie says. “Glitter Force satisfies the strong global demand for female leads,” as the show follows five girls who turn into superheroes.

He adds: “We have an exciting slate of existing shows along with several new series on the horizon and many other shows in development.”
