UK-based prodco Dot To Dot Productions has scored re-commissions from BBC Children’s for its series Footy Pups and Art Ninja.
CBeebies has commissioned a second series of 30 x 15-minute Footy Pups, which teaches preschoolers basic soccer skills and bowed last year on the preschool channel.
A third season of the 10 x half-hour series Art Ninja (pictured), which launched on CBBC in 2015, will return to the channel with presenter Ricky Martin set to create more art and continue his trademark ninja moves. Last February, London-based prodco Serious Lunch acquired the international series and format rights to Art Ninja, with the aim to produce local versions of the comedy series for other markets worldwide.
Paris-based distributor AWOL handles international rights for Footy Pups.
