TeamTO’s CG-animated series Jade Armor (pictured) is heading to China, with streamer Youku acquiring VOD rights to its first season (26 x 26 minutes) in English and Mandarin. 

TeamTO is currently in production on season two, which will deliver to commissioning broadcasters France Télévisions and Super RTL in Germany next year. Jade Armor premiered in late 2022 and has since been picked up in regions including EMEA (Warner Bros. Discovery), Australia (ABC), Hong Kong and Macau (PCWW) and Canada (SRC, Téléquébec, WildBrain). French distributor APC Kids manages worldwide rights to the show.

The series targets the six to 10 set and stars a teen girl who inherits mythical superpowers. Episodes explore her journey to juggle her newfound role fighting supervillains with the trials and tribulations of teenage life. 

Building on the momentum of the second season, TeamTO is working on plans to build out the franchise, starting with a video game. The company is talking to France’s Plug In Digital (Angelo—Skate Away) about developing and producing a Jade Armor game for consoles and PC. 

TeamTO is also in discussions with several potential licensing partners in France and Germany for toys and publishing that should hit retail in late 2025.
