Zig & Sharko has been greenlit for seasons five and six by Xilam Animation.

The two new seasons of the non-dialogue slapstick comedy Zig & Sharko are set to premiere in 2027 and 2028, respectively, on Gulli in France. Seasons five and six, created by director Hugo Gittard, will follow the theme of summer vacation.

“With fun-loving characters and hilarious adventures across land and sea, Zig & Sharko encapsulates the universal appeal of non-dialogue slapstick comedy,” said Marc du Pontavice, founder and CEO at Xilam Animation. “Together with our trusted partners at M6, we’re thrilled to dive into two more seasons that will take the characters further than ever before, redefining the relationships between them whilst maintaining their iconic personalities. We’re sure audiences will be charmed by the fresh humor and laugh-out-loud storytelling in store.”

“We are absolutely thrilled to continue our wonderful journey alongside the talented Xilam teams,” said Philippe Bony, president at Gulli. “Their outstanding creativity and contagious enthusiasm have succeeded in making Zig and Sharko beloved characters that have been capturing the hearts of families on Gulli for the last ten years.”
