Mondo TV Studios and itsy bitsy Entertainment, run by Kenn Viselman (Teletubbies, Thomas the Tank Engine), have entered an exclusive partnership regarding MeteoHeroes in the U.S. and Canada.

On April 22, an Earth Day special for MeteoHeroes will debut on PBS. Combined with a companion series, Real Superheroes Don’t Wear Capes, executive produced by Viselman, the MeteoHeroes series is planned to premiere in late summer 2022 on PBS.

A video game for Sony PlayStation, titled MeteoHeroes—Saving Planet Earth, will be managed by Viselman’s itsy bitsy Entertainment in partnership with Mondo TV and weather forecasting center Meteo Operations Italia.

Maria Bonaria Fois, CEO of Mondo TV Studios, said, “Kenn Viselman has an unmatched reputation for finding, building and developing hit brands and shows in the North American market. His insights into production, distribution, marketing and brand development will, we are sure, bring MeteoHeroes’ success in one of the biggest and most competitive kids’ markets in the world. And, of course, he loves the show! We’re delighted to be working with Kenn.”

Viselman added: “In my over three decades of working in the world of children’s and family entertainment, I have never seen a reaction to a kids’ series like I have with MeteoHeroes, and let’s face it, I’ve seen some pretty huge reactions. The success of the series is its ability to help families deal with children’s increasing climate anxiety and to give the audience hope while speaking to them in a fun and honest way. There is no issue more urgent or germane to children’s lives than climate change, and the message that a superhero lives in each of us with the capacity to change the world is one I am thrilled and honored to shout from the rooftops.”
