Two seasons of Team Nuggets, a gender-neutral animated comedy for the 5 to 8 set distributed by Serious Kids, have been acquired by RAI in Italy for RAI Yoyo and RaiPlay.
Commissioned by DR from Sparre Production and co-produced with Godo Films for Canal+ France, the series has notched up deals across the globe for Serious Kids. In addition to recent pacts with ZDF/KiKA in Germany and RTVE in Spain, it has also been sold to Midolala for China. Previously announced deals include NRK, SVT, YLE (Swedish service), RUV, Czech TV, RTV Slovenia, RTBF Belgium, and RTS Switzerland. Serious Kids holds distribution rights worldwide (excluding Nordics and French-speaking Europe).
The series is accompanied by an L&M campaign that includes publishing with Gyldendal in Denmark and plush with MAKI. The series was co-financed with the support of CNC, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Haute Savoie, the Region Île de La Réunion, Creative Europe MEDIA, SOFICA, Cofiloisirs, the Nordisk Film and TV Fund, and the NordVision Fund.
Leila Ouledcheikh, director of global distribution at Serious Kids, said, “It is fantastic to have RAI onboard. This is yet another key platform we have secured for Team Nuggets, and we now look to the other major markets to look again at this ultra original series.”
Irene Sparre, CEO of Sparre Production, added, “We are so delighted to see our series travel to Italy, Spain, and Germany; it is really rewarding to see Team Nuggets scoring major broadcast platforms, which will assist the rollout of further content, films, and more.”
