Guru Studio is heading to MIPCOM with an offering that includes the Netflix original series True and the Rainbow Kingdom, which is currently available for streaming on the service.

True and the Rainbow Kingdom follows the adventures of a brave, smart and compassionate little girl. Another highlight is the preschool show Pikwik, which looks on as Suki the Hedgehog and her team deliver surprise-filled parcels to the residents of Pikwik.

“With a timely message of fostering joy, empathy and mindfulness, True and the Rainbow Kingdom is very quickly becoming a breakout hit for preschoolers and their parents,” says Jonathan Abraham, Guru Studio’s senior director of sales and new business development.

“We’re working with the incredible team at Disney Junior that shares our passion for these characters and stories,” Abraham adds about Pikwik. The series will air on Disney Junior in the U.S. and recently landed a second-window deal with Hulu in the U.S. as well.

There is also Big Blue, about underwater adventurers Lettie and Lemo who lead their submarine crew on a mission to uncover the origins of their new recruit, an ocean fairy stowaway named Bacon Berry. The company is also touting the preschool show Justin Time.

“This has been a tremendous year of creative growth for Guru,” says Frank Falcone, the president and executive creative director at Guru. “We’re bringing our strongest and most diverse slate of originals and starting to tease out the new slate currently in early development.”

“It’s been a very exciting year at Guru as our roster of originals continues to grow,” Abraham notes.
