Banijay Kids & Family has lined up Warner Bros. Discovery Latin America as a broadcast partner for the new action-comedy Shasha & Milo.
Targeted to 6- to 9-year-olds, Shasha & Milo features two characters imbued with the power to transform between human, cat and a formidable hybrid form as they juggle school and their home lives, along with their secret new role as the Crescent Island guardians.
The LatAm pickup for the show follows Tencent Video’s acquisition in China.
Zodiak Kids & Family France (a Banijay Kids & Family company) and South Korean studio Pingo Entertainment are co-producing the series. Zodiak Kids and Family Distribution holds international distribution rights to the series.
Benoît Di Sabatino, CEO of Banijay Kids & Family, said: “The show is a huge priority for us, with the potential to become a global brand, and key to that ambition is being able to reach global audiences with our broadcast partners. As always, Warner Bros. Discovery is brilliant to have on board, enabling us to bring the dazzling and gripping story of Shasha & Milo to a wide audience across Latin America.”
Soledad Yañez, manager of original production for kids and family in Latin America at Warner Bros. Discovery, said: “We are very excited about Sasha & Milo. The story and characters are engaging, the animation is looking great, and editorially, the show is fully in line with our brands’ positioning. Besides the potential of the show, having partners like Banijay Kids & Family has contributed to a strong and assertive joint work that will bring very relevant content to our audience.”
