Toon2Tango and Mondo TV’s Monster Loving Maniacs, an animated co-pro for Super RTL and DR TV, is heading to several new European countries this year.
Mondo TV and Toon2Tango secured the deals with Canal+ for pay-TV and SVOD rights in France; Hungarian cable rights now belong to RTL Klub; TV3’s license covers free-to-air and VOD rights in Latvia; and Ketnet (Belgian pubcaster VRT’s kids channel) has acquired free-to-air and digital platform rights. And EITB (the Basque Autonomous Community’s public broadcaster) picked up the show for Northern Spain.
Monster Loving Maniacs is a 2D-animated series (52 x 11 minutes) about three siblings training to become monster hunters who decide to save the creatures in their crosshairs instead of capturing them.
Commissioned by Super RTL (Germany) and DR TV (Denmark), CBBC picked up the show in September 2022 and premiered it in the UK the following month. Monster Loving Maniacs is co-produced by Germany’s Toon2Tango, Denmark’s JA Film, Italy’s Mondo TV Group and Belgium studios Belvision and Ginger Pictures. It’s currently airing in more than 130 countries, including Thailand (True Visions), MENA (MBC3) and Israel (Noga).
