New Deals for Theodosia in Europe & the U.S.

Federation Kids & Family and ZDF Studios have inked deals for Theodosia with broadcasters in Europe and the U.S.

The Egyptology-themed adventure series’ first season was picked up by Rai (Italy), BYUtv (U.S.), RTL Nederland (the Netherlands) and AMC Networks International (Spain). TV3 (Catalonia) acquired seasons one and two, and BBC (U.K.) snagged season two.

Further deals for season one were made with LRT (Lithuania), MTVA (Hungary), Yle (Finland) and DR TV (Denmark).

Produced by Cottonwood Media in co-production with ZDF and ZDF Studios, Theodosia is based on the books by Robin L. LaFevers. It centers around 14-year-old Theodosia, the daughter of two Egyptologists who are excavating in the Valley of the Kings.

Monica Levy, co-chief of distribution at Federation Kids & Family, said: “We have a real gem of a series with Theodosia that brings Egyptology to life in the form of a live-action series for the tween demographic, with a truly international talent pool that hails from a primetime background. The sets are breathtaking, and filming in such locations as Morocco has given the production a real authentic feel. It’s a pleasure to continue our partnership with ZDF Studios and working together to bring Theodosia to new audiences as we continue to roll both seasons out.”

Marei Bruckmann, director junior at ZDF Studios, said: “We are very pleased with the marketing success of the first season of Theodosia so far. With the second season coming soon, more broadcasters and streamers will join the magical adventures of Theodosia. The series will provide exciting entertainment for children in all countries around the world. We are proud to be involved in another great project with our partners at Federation Kids & Family.”
