Cardinal

Italian TV channel Effe TV has picked up the broadcast rights to the first three seasons of Cardinal (pictured) from Sienna Films and eOne. Starring Billy Campbell and Karine Vanasse, the hour-long drama series has been a hit in both Canada and the U.S..

eOne

eOne’s new series Cupcake & Dino: General Services is gearing up for a double premiere in Brazil this month, hitting Netflix first on Nov. 13, and then Disney XD two days later. The animated comedy series for kids ages six to 11 is focusing on Brazil as a launchpad because it was created by Brazilian director Pedro Eboli and is a coproduction between eOne and Sao Paulo-based Birdo Studios. (Birdo also recently teamed up with Eboli on animated series Oswaldo, which has been pre-sold to Cartoon Network LatAm for an April 2019 delivery. Cupcake & Dino‘s episodes are driven by the unlikely duo trying to make a name for themselves in the competitive business of doing odd jobs. The show was picked up in October 2017 as a Netflix Original series, as well as by Teletoon (Canada) and Disney Channels LatAm for spring 2019 launches after the premiere in Brazil.
