To his horror, his creation goes into overdrive, downloading everything the technologically advanced world of Salam City has, transforming him into a crazy, mischievous digital shapeshifter intent on sabotaging Mansour and the world.<\/p>\n<p>Epic Story will represent the series with the aim of securing broadcast rights across multiple linear and streaming platforms as part of Bidaya\u2019s efforts to globally promote the series, which is produced in English and Arabic. Bidaya plans to produce four seasons of <em>The Adventures of Mansour: Age of AI<\/em>, of which the first 26 episodes will be ready for Q3 2023.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Mansour<\/em> has captured the imagination of children across the MENA region in a powerful way,\u201d said Nabil El Jisr, CEO of Bidaya Media. \u201cWe are inspired to build on this success with the production of the new season of <em>Mansour<\/em> and by partnering with Epic to achieve global reach and inspire a new generation of children around the world. As a uniquely entertaining show that harnesses positive, universal values, <em>Mansour<\/em> addresses the major influences affecting children\u2019s lives and has the potential to create a positive impact for future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re extremely excited to start this partnership with one of the top production companies in the Middle East and help deliver compelling stories that match our commitment to diversity and finding cultural and authentic content, relatable for a global audience,\u201d said Ken Faier, president of Epic Story Media. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to work with Bidaya Media and to bring <em>Mansour<\/em> to our unique slate that we\u2019ll be presenting at MIPTV. As with all our projects, we love properties that have those unique elements that can deliver an expansive 360 experience. <em>Mansour: Age of A.I.<\/em> has so much to offer fans who want to delve deeper into their favorite characters and stories, and we look forward to exploring this over the coming years with Bidaya.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Epic Story Media has signed on as the global content and licensing agent, excluding MENA and China, for Bidaya Media\u2019s The Adventures of Mansour: Age of AI.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":24986,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[3044,4058,6208,7612],"class_list":["post-24985","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bidaya-media","tag-epic-story-media","tag-mansour","tag-the-adventures-of-mansour-age-of-ai","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
