On 29 November, leading French producer and distributor of animated series Cyber Group Studios announced it had secured a raft of deals with international broadcasters and platforms for both seasons 1 and 2 of its hit 52x11-minute pre-school animated series Gigantosaurus, as well as its 26x22-minute action-adventure animé series for kids aged six to ten, Droners.

Moreover, the group has pre-sold its brand-new CGI 2D series, entitled 50/50 Heroes, commissioned by France Télévisions and The Walt Disney Company in Germany and Eastern Europe, to Discovery in Latin America and Disney Japan. 50/50 Heroes is described as “an original graphic universe” focusing on “half-siblings who work together to make one-half of a superhero”. The show is currently in production.

Gigantosaurus is currently airing on Disney Junior in the USA and across the EMEA region.

Meanwhile, the first season of Droners, commissioned by TF1, was picked up by ABC (Australia), SIC (Portugal), RTBF (Belgium) and RTS (Switzerland).
