Canada’s TELETOON has picked up a second season of the animated series Delilah & Julius from DECODE Ent. and Collideascope Digital. The co-pro partners have gone back to the drawing board to produce 26 more half-hour episodes of the 2D-animated teen spy show. DECODE also announced that it has sold all 52 episodes to NICK Germany.
Delilah & Julius follows the adventures of two stylish, teen spies who thwart evildoers around the world with help from their posse and some super-cool gadgets. In addition to saving the world one crime at a time, the duo have to keep one step ahead of their jealous rivals at The Academy.
According to Madeleine L’vesque, TELETOON’s director of original production, Delilah & Julius is one of the top rated shows for kids 6-11on the network’s English-language outlet, and is also a hit with kids 2-11 on the French network. Season one also currently airs on Cartoon Network Latin America, Nickelodeon Netherlands and M-Net’s kids channel, KTV. DECODE holds worldwide distribution rights for the series, which has recently been picked up by TV12 Singapore and RTBF in Belgium.
‘We’re very pleased with NICK Germany’s support for Delilah & Julius, which represents our first deal with this important new channel, says DECODE Ent. partner Neil Court. ‘It’s great to build on these recent sales with a TELETOON order for further episodes and we look forward to introducing the new season to international buyers.’
