Yo-Kai Watch Lands on Disney XD in LatAm

LOS ANGELES: MarVista Entertainment has inked a pan-regional broadcasting deal that will see the hit animated show Yo-Kai Watch begin airing on Disney XD across Latin America next month.

Yo-Kai Watch will debut on June 13 across all five of Disney XD’s Latin American feeds, spanning Mexico, Central America, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Venezuela and Uruguay, among other territories. It will broadcast on weekdays, with episodes repeated on weekends. The series first premiered two years ago in Japan, where it continues to be a hit with 4- to 12-year-old viewers on TV Tokyo.

“From the moment we first saw Yo-Kai Watch we knew it was going to be a global sensation,” noted Fernando Szew, the CEO of MarVista Entertainment. “Launching this phenomenal series on Disney XD throughout Latin America is the ideal scenario for us, and we couldn’t be happier. We’re looking forward to continuing Yo-Kai Watch’s spectacular momentum.”
