DeAPlaneta Entertainment has sealed deals with FABA and Tappi for new audio experiences around its hit preschool series Milo.
FABA’s storytelling system combines audio characters, learning, and entertainment, while Tappi will bring Milo into interactive books that let children listen to stories and music and play games as they explore the pages. The FABA deal covers Italy, Ticino, Spain, and the Netherlands. The Tappi collaboration is in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.
A third season of Milo arrives in 2027.
Gianluca Ferrara, head of DeAPlaneta Italy and international head of toys, remarked, “With FABA and Tappi, we’re expanding Milo’s universe into the growing world of screen-free audio experiences, a space particularly well suited to preschoolers. The two partners bring innovative and complementary approaches: FABA through its audio storytelling ecosystem, and Tappi by combining traditional books with interactive audio. Together, these partnerships offer new ways for children to engage with Milo beyond the screen, while helping us further consolidate the brand’s presence across Europe and continue its expansion in North America.”
“The character of Milo won us over immediately, and working with DeAPlaneta Entertainment to bring him to FABA felt like a natural fit,” added Sara Visentin, chief content officer of FABA. “It is a partnership we strongly believe in, as Milo perfectly embodies the spirit of our editorial offering. Adding such a beloved character to FABA’s screen-free audio world means giving children access to high-quality stories that spark their imagination and take them on exciting journeys through listening.”
Nan Wang, co-founder of Tappi, noted, “We love how Milo inspires children to discover different jobs and explore the world around them. With Tappi, we’re excited to make those adventures even more interactive, playful, and fun.”
