Zig & Sharko Season Four Sales

Xilam Animation has signed its first raft of deals for the upcoming fourth season of its non-dialogue slapstick comedy series Zig & Sharko.

Launching in September 2023, season four has been acquired by long-standing partner Gulli (France), which has also renewed its partnership across the previous three seasons. Additionally, Xilam sold the new installment to existing partners VRT-Ketnet (Belgium), Discovery (Italy), DeA (Italy), Nickelodeon (India) and Nova TV (Israel).

Xilam will debut the first episode of the new season to buyers at MIPCOM.

Morgann Favennec, executive VP of distribution at Xilam Animation, said: “Zig & Sharko is a core part of Xilam’s legacy for creating non-dialogue slapstick comedy series that successfully capture the hearts of multiple generations of fans all around the world. As we gear up for MIPCOM 2022, it’s fantastic to already have an array of leading broadcasters on board for Zig & Sharko’s fourth season, and we’re very much looking forward to introducing further buyers to the upcoming instalment, which promises even more hilarious and playful adventures for the show’s broad and highly engaged international fan base.”
