Lion Forge Entertainment\u2019s Yoruba mythology-based series Iyanu<\/em> leads the company\u2019s highlights for MIPCOM.<\/p>\n

\u201cIyanu<\/em> has successfully launched in the U.S., U.K., Africa, the Middle East and Australia with incredible results,\u201d says Kirsten Newlands, executive VP of production and content partnerships. \u201cWe\u2019re looking to firm up broadcast partners in our remaining territories and move to a season three greenlight.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the boys’ action comedy Bugtron<\/em>, a battle brews between factions of highly evolved bugs. \u201cWe\u2019re looking for the right platforms and broadcaster partners to work with to launch this global franchise,\u201d Newlands notes.<\/p>\n

The action-adventure fantasy series The Wingfeather Saga<\/em>, for children ages 6 to 11, follows the journey of the Igiby family. \u201cThis captivating three-season series is designed for children ages 6 to 11 co-viewing,\u201d Newlands explains.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpending time with global distribution partners is incredibly important to us, and MIPCOM remains a tremendous platform to connect in person, showcase our slate and discuss key developments, like the recent investment from HarbourView,\u201d Newlands adds.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe our franchise-building blueprint is a unique differentiator and the additional capital allows us to further develop and invest in expanding our library, which can feed global content pipeline needs in the premium kids, family and YA spaces,\u201d she continues. \u201cWe have a clear set of criteria for projects utilizing this funding, and we\u2019ve already targeted several new projects that we\u2019ll be co-producing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
