Entertainment One (eOne) has landed sales with two Nordic broadcasters for its preschool animated series Ricky Zoom.

Per the deals, NRK in Norway and SVT in Sweden will debut season one of the show from November 2019 and spring 2020, respectively. Ricky Zoom follows the titular red motorbike as he and his friends Loop, Scootio and DJ go on adventures around the racetrack.

These latest sales add to a rapidly growing slate of international broadcasters launching Ricky Zoom across multiple territories from this autumn. These include Nickelodeon (U.S.), Nick Jr. and Channel 5’s Milkshake (U.K.), Treehouse (Canada), Super RTL (Germany), Clan TV (Spain), Gulli (France), RAI (Italy), Youku (China), Discovery Kids (Latin America), Karusel (Russia), Minika Cocuk (Turkey), EBS (S.Korea) and Spacetoon (MENA).

“We’re excited that these latest deals with NRK and SVT will bring Ricky Zoom to audiences in the Nordics,” said eOne’s Monica Candiani, executive VP of international content sales for family and brands. “Ricky Zoom is a show all about vehicles, friendship and adventure with meaningful life lessons woven into the storylines. There’s nothing quite like it in the preschool sector right now and the long list of top-tier broadcast partners signed to date demonstrates that it clearly has global appeal.”
