  • Gulli and WBD EMEA have renewed Totally Spies! (featured image) for an eighth season on the heels of a strong first four weeks on air in France last month. Gulli president Philippe Bony says ratings for season seven (26 x 22 minutes) have grown week on week, and its most recent episode grabbed a 37% share of four- to 14-year-olds in the French market.

    WBD has yet to announce any premiere dates for season seven in EMEA, the US and Latin America, where it will air on Discovery Kids LatAm. The revival continues to chronicle the lives of the IP’s three spy protagonists after they make the move from Beverly Hills to Singapore. Banijay-owned Zodiak Kids & Family France produces the series in collaboration with Gulli and WBD EMEA.
  • Recently launched distribution arm Folivari International has added upcoming tween series The Baker Street Four (12 x 26 minutes, pictured above) and Guitar & Drum (78 x five minutes) to its catalogue, and will sell both titles globally. The Baker Street Four is a 2D/CG-animated Sherlock Holmes spinoff co-produced by Folivari and Blue Spirit and commissioned in France by Canal+. And from Punkrobot and Hype Animation, CG-animated preschool toon Guitar & Drum originally premiered on Disney Channel Latin America in 2020.
