Mondo TV Group and Toon2Tango have announced sales across multiple territories for their new kids’ “spy-fi” animation Agent 203 (26 x 22′ / 3D CGI). The show has been bought by major broadcasters across Italy, Poland, MENA and Central and Eastern Europe, and a distributor has been signed for China.
The first batch of episodes has just been delivered, with broadcast launch in these territories expected in late 2023.
Synopsis: “So, my dad was a secret agent?” Imagine Zoe Stranek’s surprise when she finds out her dad didn’t work at Starbucks, but used to be an intergalactic agent, protecting our planet against alien invasions. So when a weird, comical alien named Ulav, her dad’s old partner, tells her this, she decides to follow in her father’s footsteps. Together with her new alien bestie and her best friends Quigley and Rock, she protects our planet from General Gore, the ultimate badass alien, in memory of her beloved father.
Created by Damjan Mitrevski, Jo Daris and Ulli Stoef, the series was commissioned by Germany’s SUPER RTL, which is expected to launch it to air in autumn 2023; the show is a co-production between Toon2Tango, Mondo TV and Cosmos Maya Animation and is distributed internationally by Toon2Tango and Mondo TV.
Italy’s public broadcaster Rai Kids has pre-acquired Agent 203 with plans to show the adventure-comedy on its free-to-air children’s station Rai Gulp; a premiere is planned for autumn 2023.
The show will also be free to air in Poland, where it will appear on leading public service TVP abc, and across the Middle East and North Africa on the Arabic-language service MBC 3. Mondo TV has also inked a pay TV deal with Hungary-based AMC Networks Central Europe, whose MINIMAX pay television channel will be broadcasting to a dozen Central European countries. In addition, PT Spectrum Film in Indonesia has licensed the media rights for the show.
Toon2Tango has also signed a distributor, The Media Pioneers (TMP), a U.K.-China media group based in London, to represent the show in the Chinese market.
“These new launches are significant announcements for the show,” says Matteo Corradi, Mondo TV President & CEO of Mondo TV. “The very positive response to Agent 203 at industry events is now translating into sales to renowned partners across the world. We’re delighted our long-term partner Rai Kids is on board for this exciting and inventive show which is on its way to so many major broadcasters in key territories, with many more soon joining them.”
