HALIFAX – DHX Media has struck more new international broadcast agreements for its original series Massive Monster Mayhem, with five additional broadcasters signed for season one.
The live action comedy series is slated to debut this spring on Lagardère’s Gulli TV and Canal J in France, TVE’s Clan in Spain, CiTV in the UK and ABC in Australia.
Co-created by Artur Spigel (founder of 7ate9 Entertainment) and Michael Chaves and produced by DHX Media, Massive Monster Mayhem is aimed at kids 6 – 11 and combines live action and CGI animation with real competition and comedy, pitting kids against gigantic Monster Superstars in futuristic challenges for the chance to win prizes and save the planet from destruction.
Following the show’s successful premiere on Nicktoons in the U.S., Nickelodeon International picked it up for air across more than 140 territories in January.
Global distribution for Massive Monster Mayhem is handled by DHX Media. The show's consumer products licensing is managed by DHX Brands, with Alpha Group as global toy licensee (excluding Asia), and show-themed toys are expected to launch at retail in Fall 2018.
“This series brings together so many things that kids love – crazy competitions, hilarious stunts, wild special effects and of course, space alien monsters who want to take over Earth,” said DHX Media president Josh Scherba, in the news release. “Building on our strategy to engage kids with entertaining content and exciting toys, Massive Monster Mayhem unleashes the sort of unbridled energy and imaginative fun that kids crave. There’s no surprise that broadcasters continue to jump on board to help spread the mayhem.”
