Retail giant Tesco’s U.K. subscription-free streaming service has added a raft of children’s programming to its content library, thanks to new deals with eOne, Lionsgate and DHX Media, and the U.K.’s Aardman Animations.
Canada’s DHX Media has signed a bouquet of new TV deals and renewals across Asia for its children’s library including new preschool series Monster Math Squad (pictured).
The kids program animated by Montreal’s Oasis Animation is a DHX Media and WGBH Boston copoduction.
Amazon’s SVOD service LOVEFiLM is adding to its existing library of DHX offerings to provide new kids shows like Mona the Vampire and Paddington Bear for streaming.
The deals include a three-year pact with Toronto-based Percy3D that extends the brand into the niche of immersive digital products.
The sale came as DHX Media swung to a first quarter loss after recently closing a deal to acquire Cookie Jar Entertainment to create Canada’s largest kids entertainment company.
The Canadian actor is to play an eccentric dental hygienist in the single camera sitcom from executive producer Tim McAuliffe (pictured) and indie producer DHX Media.
The Halifax-based producer and distributor has joined the children’s publisher in its creative partnership drive on a collaboration for TV and book, Shipwrecked.
The Halifax-based producer and distributor will now manage international broadcast and licensing rights, previously managed by Zodiak Rights, in-house.
