• Spain’s RTVE has acquired season one of CG-animated Team Nuggets (pictured) to air on Clan this spring. Serious Kids brokered the deal for this 52 x seven-minute series, which was co-produced by Denmark’s Sparre Production and France’s Godo Films for commissioning broadcaster DR TV. Team Nuggets premiered in 2023 and is aimed at five- to eight-year-olds.

Sparre and Godo are currently in pre-production on a second season.
