TORONTO – Corus’ Nelvana Enterprises has signed a number of major international deals for its Beywarriors Beyraiderz series.

Based on the global phenomena Beyblade, the series follows the characters Sho, Jin and Leon, who are trapped in a strange parallel world. Once defended by the Six Mythic Beasts who upheld justice and brought prosperity to all through the battling BeyRaiderz tournaments, this world has since fallen into decay and ruin following the disappearance of the Mythic Beasts. Now it’s up to Sho and his friends to uncover the hidden BeyRaiderz stadiums, do battle with the enemy and bring the Mythic Beasts back to restore prosperity to the derelict world.

The 13 x half-hour animated series launched January 4 on YTV in Canada before airing on Cartoon Network in the U.S. with a four-episode marathon on January 25, 2014.  Other broadcast partners include Gulli in France; Cartoon Network in Australia and New Zealand; Club RTL in French-speaking Belgium and Luxembourg; and Dreamia in Portugal.
