Xilam Animation has secured new global broadcasters for two popular titles, including Zig & Sharko<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Commissioned by Gulli, Zig & Sharko<\/em> was Xilam\u2019s most-sold brand of 2023, with K+ (Vietnam) and Media Prima (Malaysia) now on board for the first seasons alongside renewals by Netflix, Warner Bros. Discovery (Africa and Italy), Viacom18 (India), ERT (Greece) and RTL (Hungary).<\/p>\n

Following presales to VRT (Belgium), Warner Bros Discovery (Italy), DeAgostini (Italy) and Viacom 18 (India), season four of the series has also been sold to Warner Bros. Discovery (France and Africa), DR (Denmark), NRK Super (Norway), Markiza (Slovakia) and ERT (Greece).<\/p>\n

Xilam has also brought on new partners for the CG animated slapstick comedy series Karate Sheep<\/em>.\u00a0Warner Bros Discovery (Italy), Sony (India), Youku (China), Nova (Czech Republic), and Etisalat (United Arab Emirates) have boarded the series.<\/p>\n

Co-commissioned by Super RTL in Germany with Netflix, the 78×7-minute Karate Sheep<\/em> premiered on Super RTL in late 2022. Xilam holds second-window global linear TV distribution and merchandising rights for the show.<\/p>\n

Marc du Pontavice, founder and CEO at Xilam Animation, said: \u201cSlapstick comedy series are at the heart of our offering at Xilam and have seen global popularity across generations due to fun-loving characters who embark on hilarious escapades. Zig & Sharko<\/em> and Karate Sheep<\/em> are some of our most well-loved brands, and it\u2019s fantastic to have new and returning broadcast partners on board to bring these joyful adventures to audiences everywhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re also proud to see such strong performances on Netflix from our series, including the family favorite co-viewing franchise Oggy Oggy <\/em>and Oggy and the Cockroaches: Next Generation<\/em>, which underscores the enduring popularity of these brands globally.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
