APC Kids has inked a deal with France T\u00e9l\u00e9visions for two live-action kids’ series, including the comedy-drama Hardball<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Following Hardball<\/em>‘s season one debut on Okoo,\u00a0season two will launch on France T\u00e9l\u00e9visions in 2022. Produced by Northern Pictures in association with Screen Australia, Create NSW and the Australian Children’s Television Foundation (ACTF), the series follows a group of kids caught up in the game of handball.<\/p>\n

DisRupted<\/em>, a live-action series of films produced by CJZ, Sticky Pictures and LateNite Films, explores universal themes through unique perspectives such as newly discovered independence, finding your own voice, the power of friendship and your relationship to the world around you.<\/p>\n

The films were created through ABC and Screen Australia’s DisRupted initiative, which saw all three films led by young Australian creatives with disabilities. The films are set to launch on France T\u00e9l\u00e9visions’ Okoo from November 18 and will air on France 4 on November 20 for National School Harassment Day.<\/p>\n

Lionel Marty, managing director of APC Kids, said: \u201cWe are thrilled to continue our successful partnership with the ACTF. Hardball<\/em> is an original, fresh comedy, and after seeing a great reaction to the first season, we are confident that the second season will be highly anticipated by the show\u2019s French fans. We are also very much looking forward to bringing French audiences the DisRupted<\/em> trio of films, which provide thought-provoking content for, and created by, talented young people.\u201d<\/p>\n

ACTF Executive Producer Bernadette O\u2019Mahony said: \u201cHardball<\/em> is a clever, warm and funny series, and it\u2019s wonderful to see that audiences right across the globe love it as much as we do. The second series is full of new twists and turns and hilarious new characters, and we\u2019re thrilled French audiences will get to enjoy more of the Block Street gang\u2019s fun and crazy world. We\u2019re also excited to see how French audiences respond to the DisRupted<\/em> films, which challenge viewers to reflect on the experience of disability and the importance of accessibility and inclusion in a clever, funny and entertaining way.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
