Sissi the Young Empress Season Three Sells to Canal Panda

Mondo TV Iberoamerica has sold the third season of Sissi the Young Empress to the Iberian kids’ pay-TV channel Canal Panda.

Per the deal, the series will be available from September 2020 on the channel’s Portuguese-language cable, satellite and terrestrial services for audiences in Portugal and Portuguese-speaking Africa. Mondo TV Iberoamerica distributes Mondo TV’s animated catalog in Spain, Portugal and both Latin America and the Spanish-speaking U.S.

Sissi the Young Empress, based on a real historical figure, follows a charming young empress who captured the public imagination beyond her Austrian homeland. The third season launched this year with a brand-new format, a 26×11-minute season in 3D CGI.

Maria Bonaria Fois, CEO of Mondo TV Iberoamerica, said: “Sissi—the character, the story and the animated series—remains one of our most popular shows, and the new series is already enjoying a great response from Sissi’s many fans. We’re delighted to have made this major sale to a leading name in the Portuguese market and I’m sure Sissi the Young Empress series three, like series one and two, will be enormously popular with Canal Panda’s big audience.”
