Madgic Distribution has licensed the Australian Children’s Television Foundation’s live-action series The Inbestigators to France Télévisions.
Madgic, led by Lionel Marty as MD, represents the ACTF slate in French-speaking EMEA territories. The Inbestigators, produced by Gristmill and the ACTF, targets the 8 to 12 set and was commissioned by pubcaster ABC and Netflix.
Claire Heinrich, head of acquisitions for the children and youth department at France Télévisions, noted, “We love the camaraderie between the disparate group of friends in The Inbestigators. By setting up their detective agency together, they learn how to work together and build their friendship group. We know that children in France will want to be part of the gang and are delighted with this fun and sparkling new addition to Okoo’s fiction catalogue, no later than March.”
Marty added: “The Inbestigators is a fun, original series which has children at the centre of the action, exploring ‘crimes’ and learning about teamwork and friendship. We’re proud to be partnering with the ACTF to bring its great programming to a French audience.”
Bernadette O’Mahony, ACTF’s head of content, added, “The Inbestigators is a ground-breaking procedural comedy for kids, a funny and unique take on the mystery genre. It has been a huge hit right across the world, and I know children watching France Télévisions are going to fall in love with Maudie, Ezra, Ava and Kyle and the outrageous mysteries they solve together.”
