WarnerMedia Kids & Family EMEA Picks Up Jade Armor

The broadcast rights for TeamTO’s action-comedy animated series Jade Armor have been sold to WarnerMedia Kids & Family EMEA.

The series will join the kids’ and family lineup on Cartoon Network in the region later this year as part of the channel’s commitment to broadcasting more animation that appeals to girls. It will also air on HBO Max.

Jade Armor features an all-female creative team and centers on an unlikely teenage heroine who must learn the ancient secrets of her family and uncover the unexpected. It is based on a concept by M Pongo Kuo.

WarnerMedia Kids & Family previously acquired the series for the U.S.

Zia Bales, lead, acquisitions, partnerships and co-productions for kids in EMEA at WarnerMedia, said, “Jade Armor’s central character, Lan Jun, is the embodiment of girl power—a female superhero balancing her newfound responsibilities with the demands of teenage life. We’re excited to bring this strong female lead to HBO Max and Cartoon Network in EMEA, broadening our appeal with girls and demonstrating our commitment to European content.”

Corinne Kouper, co-founder and senior VP of development and production at TeamTO and  executive producer for the series, added, “Cartoon Network has always been known for its exciting, action-packed and funny series, so we are delighted that Jade Armor will be a headliner for girl-led characters in this genre. HBO Max and Cartoon Network are the ideal partners and platforms to bring our spirited Jade character to life across the globe.”
