Portfolio Entertainment Inks Sales for Do You Know?, Addison & More

Portfolio Entertainment has announced a raft of new sales for a number of series on its slate, including all three seasons of the live-action educational series Do You Know?.

Produced by WonderTV for Cbeebies in the U.K., Do You Know? follows YouTuber Maddie Moate as she answers pressing scientific questions for kids. Azoomee picked up all three seasons of the show for the U.S., South Africa, the Netherlands and Sweden. NOGA in Israel, which already had the first two seasons, is adding the third to its lineup, as is TVB in Hong Kong and Macau.

TVB also picked up the third season of The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That!, which was originally produced by Portfolio Entertainment in association with PBS Kids with the support of CMF and the Shaw Rocket Fund.

Addison, a preschool animated series about a precocious young detective and aspiring inventor, was picked up by EBS in South Korea. Azoomee also acquired the show for the U.S., the U.K., South Africa, the Netherlands and Sweden. Portfolio Entertainment sold seasons 10 and 11 as well as the upcoming season 12 of Cyberchase to CJ ENM in South Korea. Produced by WNET for PBS Kids, the series follows a group of kids who use their STEM knowledge to prevent an evil computer virus from taking over their digital world.

Portfolio Entertainment’s Freaktown, produced for YTV in Canada with support from CMF and the Shaw Rocket Fund, has been licensed to SIC in Portugal. The Joe Media-produced Car Stories, an unscripted series about classic cars and the passionate owners who love them, was acquired by AWE TV in the U.S.

Donnie MacIntyre, Portfolio Entertainment’s VP of sales and business development, said: “We couldn’t be happier to be announcing these partnerships as we head into the fall season. MIPJunior and MIPCOM will be the launchpad for some of our most exciting content ever, and with these new sales under our wings, we’ll be heading into the markets with great momentum. The assortment of industry-leading partners we’re announcing today is a testament to the quality and reputation of Portfolio Entertainment’s diverse catalog.”
