Acamar Films has clinched new placements for its hit preschool series Bing across LatAm, Africa, and Europe.
In a deal negotiated by Iñaki Orive of Brands & Rights 360, the animated series heads to Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras with FTA channel Azteca 7. The Spanish-language version of the show is airing in a dedicated half-hour weekday slot.
The series has secured its first linear launch in South Africa, with an English-language version landing on eToonz. The channel reaches more than 4 million households on the OpenView free-to-air platform. That deal encompasses 104 episodes.
Expanding its European footprint, Bing will now air on Kixi, an independent streaming service for children’s content. That deal, brokered by Jiella Esmat at 8 Lions Entertainment, brings 52 episodes of a brand-new German-language version and a 22-minute Christmas special, produced in partnership with localisation partner Studio Hamburg and Bing’s original German voice director, Marion von Stengel.
Mikael Shields, CEO of Acamar Films and producer of Bing, said: “Supporting our long-term relationships with broadcasters is at the heart of our success to date with Bing. Of course, we are working to expand our fandom, with partners, across digital, games, publishing, licensing, and live experiences, but broadcasting remains crucially important for our audience. So, we are genuinely thrilled that many more children in Latin America, Africa, and Europe will be able to enjoy Bing in their own language. It’s an exciting start to 2026.”
Bing has been licensed to 141 territories globally. Created by Acamar Films, in partnership with Brown Bag Films, it remains a top performer on CBeebies and on BBC iPlayer.
