HALIFAX – DHX Media has licensed the first season of its new animated comedy series Looped exclusively to Amazon Prime in the U.S. where it debuted on Prime Video on Monday.
Produced at DHX Studios and commissioned by Teletoon in Canada, Looped (pictured) is a 2D-animated comedy series aimed at kids aged 6 – 11 that stars Luc and Theo who are stuck in a time-loop where every day is the same Monday.
In addition, DHX Media will add five seasons of the classic children’s series The Busy World of Richard Scarry, the first season of the Madeline series, and the feature special Madeline Sing Along with her Friends to the U.S. Prime Video catalogue. Amazon is already home to other DHX Media kids’ content, including Mighty Jungle, In the Night Garden and Bo on the GO!
“We are thrilled that Amazon Prime members will be first in the U.S. to see our terrific new animated show, Looped”, said DHX Media's SVP distribution Josh Scherba, in the news release. “This Amazon exclusive highlights the strong market for DHX’s original content, and the agreement for The Busy World of Richard Scarry and Madeline underscores the enduring appeal of our classic kids’ titles in today’s on-demand environment. These deals reflect the growing investment that leading streaming services such as Amazon Prime are making to offer distinctive, high-quality children’s programming for their subscribers.”
