The Australian Children\u2019s Television Foundation (ACTF) has clinched a U.K. deal for the live-action comedy Hardball<\/em>, which will air on CBBC.<\/p>\n

Hardball premiered in Australia on ABC ME in 2019. The U.K. deal follows on from other recent sales of the series to France, Norway, Ireland, Canada, Hong Kong, Portugal, Slovenia and South Africa.<\/p>\n

Hardball is produced by Northern Pictures in association with Screen Australia, Create NSW and the ACTF. Season two will be in production in the second half of 2020 with delivery in early 2021.<\/p>\n

ACTF Executive Producer Bernadette O\u2019Mahony said: \u201cIt\u2019s great to see the success of Hardball<\/em> across the world and to know that kids in the U.K. are now also going to enjoy this funny and delightful series. I\u2019m sure they are going to love the warmth and craziness of the gang from Block Street Primary School as much as Australian kids have.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
