Latin America’s 24-hour preschool channel Discovery Kids has partnered with Canada’s Portfolio Entertainment to produce and distribute a new half-hour animated preschool series featuring the popular Discovery Kids’ personality Doki.

Twenty six episodes will be produced by Portfolio on behalf of Discovery Kids with JBMW Media on board as one of the executive producers.

The new series will follow the globe-trotting adventures of Doki, and his friends Mundi, Fico, Anabella and Gabi, as they look to answer questions about science and nature.

Doki was first introduced to Latin American audiences as the official animated host of Discovery Kids and has developed a devoted following over the years appearing in interstitials on the preschool channel.

Doki has also expanded into licensing with a consumer products program that includes more than 50 licensees across Latin America in categories such as toys, games, apparel, publishing and stationery.
