HALIFAX – DHX Media is heading to this year’s TV and digital content market MIPTV with new commissions for three of its original children’s series.
The company said Wednesday that Chuck’s Choice has been commissioned by YTV in Canada, and has already been licensed to Turner Broadcasting France; Space Ranger Roger is commissioned by Family Jr.; and season two of Inspector Gadget has been commissioned by Teletoon in Canada. All three series are being produced at DHX Studios.
“We have a very strong slate for MIPTV with these new commissions underscoring our reputation for producing standout original content for kids and families”, said DHX Media SVP distribution Josh Scherba, in the news release. “Driven by notable creative talents, with Rob Boutilier directing Chuck’s Choice, and Jeff Rosen behind Space Ranger Roger, our newest two shows have fantastic pedigrees. Along with the iconic Inspector Gadget, now going into a second season after significant global demand, we are looking forward to debuting these shows to the international market at MIPTV.”
