Preschool series In the Night Garden, now owned by DHX Media following last month’s purchase of Ragdoll Worldwide for US$27.7 million, will air on UK broadcaster CBeebies through 2020, following a seven-year broadcasting deal.
In the Night Garden (100 x half hours) launched on CBeebies in 2007 and has aired consistently on the channel, continuing to be one of the highest rating series in its bedtime slot, as well as on the BBC iPlayer.
DHX says there are new product initiatives set to launch throughout this year and next, with high demand in place for new plush and plastic toys, playsets, figures, developmental toys, vehicles and role-play products from UK master toy licensee Golden Bear.
