Studio 100 International to Launch Mortina at Mifa

Studio 100 International has revealed it will be presenting Mortina as part of its Mifa 2025 lineup.

The 52-part mystery-comedy series follows 9-year-old zombie girl Mortina and her “alive-alive” friends Nora and Leo, as well as her loyal dog Tragedy and cousin Dilbert. The group works together to solve strange cases in the decaying Crumbling Manor.

The team recovers books hidden by a mischievous tongue and searches for BroccoGloomy, a weird vegetable that makes you sprout dragonfly wings, among other adventures.

Mortina is based on the international best-selling book series written and illustrated by Barbara Cantini, published by Mondadori Libri. The book sales exceed more than 600,000 copies in 30 countries.

The series adaptation is co-produced by Italy’s Cartobaleno and Ireland’s Treehouse Republic and commissioned by Italy’s Rai Kids and Ireland’s RTÉ.

The first 26 episodes are slated for delivery by the end of 2025, with the remaining 26 episodes following by the end of 2026.

“Mortina is a delightful series that celebrates the power of being different and is packed with whimsical humor, energy and heart,” said Dorian Buehr, head of global distribution at Studio 100 International. “We are absolutely excited to bring this beloved book series to screens around the globe.”
