UK-based IP company Ludorum has licensed the second 13 x half-hour season of its CGI-animated series Chuggington to Disney Channel US for the Playhouse Disney programming block.
The acquisition of the second season follows the success of the first season, which hit Playhouse Disney in January 2010 and currently airs seven days a week on the net. The channel has acquired all US television rights to the property.
Chuggington has been licensed to more than 175 territories worldwide and has established successful ratings in international markets including the UK (BBC, CBeebies), Germany (Super-RTL), France (TF1), Australia (ABC) and Canada (Treehouse).
