April 1, 2025
  • CAKE has sold Talking Tom Heroes: Suddenly Super (pictured, 52 x 11 minutes) to BBC Children’s, which has the CG-animated series lined up to launch later this year. Produced by Outfit7, Epic Story Media and ReDefine Originals, Talking Tom Heroes: Suddenly Super is about a group of animals who use their superpowers to defend their city from baddies.
  • Goat Girl‘s broadcasting reach is about to get wider, thanks to two new deals brokered by MIAM! Distribution with ITV (UK) and WildBrain Television (Canada). The 2D-animated series (52 x 11 minutes) produced by Daily Madness Production, MIAM! Animation and Thuristar was commissioned by WarnerMedia EMEA, KIKA, VRT-Ketnet and RTE. Revolving around a girl raised by goats who goes to school for the first time, Goat Girl is set to premiere in February 2026.
  • Disney Branded Television has renewed live-action spin-off Wizards Beyond Waverly Place for a second season that will run on both Disney Channel and Disney+. The move isn’t much of a surprise, given that the opening episode of Beyond drew 3.2 million global views on Disney+ in its first 12 days on the streamer.
