Toronto-based producer/distributor Portfolio Ent. has closed four major deals for it’s tween-targeted animated comedy series Carl2, finding new broadcast homes for the show at ABC and ABC2 in Australia, and selling more episodes to VRT in Belgium and Canal + Cyfrowy in Poland. The series also currently airs on Nickelodeon in Germany, Jetix in the Netherlands, Canal + in Poland and Noga in Israel.
Carl2 centers on a slacker teen named Carl Crashman, who accidentally generates his own clone after venting about his life in his online journal. Carl soon discovers that the miracle of cloning comes with a price as he scrambles to cover up the trail of chaos that his exuberant clone, C2, leaves in his wake.
Australia’s ABC has picked up the 26 half-hours comprising the second and third seasons of Carl2, while ABC2 has acquired all three seasons for a total of 52 episodes. VRT, which bought the first season last year, renewed the series for a second season (13 x 30) and Canal + Cyfrowy has added seasons two and three to its roster.
