Portfolio Entertainment closes MIPCOM with a new set of international deals for the kids’ 6-11 animation series Freaktown (26 x 30’). Already sold to various leading kids’ networks globally, the new round of sales will see the series launch in the U.K., Denmark and India.
Freaktown has been picked up by Sony Pictures Television for its U.K. channel Kix. The show has also been acquired by Denmark’s DR for DR ULTRA Channel and by Disney for its channels in India.
Produced by Portfolio Entertainment and commissioned by TELETOON Canada, Freaktown follows the adventures of skeleton Ben Bones and his freaky friends as they protect their town from takeover by Princess Boo Boo the Bouncy of Sweetlandia.
“Freaktown’s mix of everything sweet and cuddly with the gleefully gross and slimy continues to hook kids everywhere who love seeing these two worlds and their characters collide at every turn,” said, Portfolio Entertainment, director of international sales and acquisitions, Jonathan Abraham. “We’re thrilled to ink these new deals and bring this highly-entertaining series to new homes in the U.K., Denmark and India.”
