Zinkia and ITV Studios Global Entertainment’s global hit Pocoyo is coming to American viewers on Nick Jr. starting later this spring.
The deal, which covers U.S. broadcast syndication rights to the CG animated preschooler series, was brokered by ITV and Zinkia.
Pocoyo has been broadcast in more than 100 territories worldwide and has earned a number of prestigious awards including a BAFTA award, three Pucinella Prizes at Cartoons on the Bay and the Best TV Series prize at Annecy.
‘We’re really excited that American kids, parents and caregivers will get to know Pocoyo and we’re confident that they’ll fall in love with him, just as millions around the globe have already,’ says Maria Doolan, managing director of brand and business development at Zinkia. ‘Nick Jr. is a great home for this prestige series.’
