French CGI studio TeamTO and kids entertainment specialist CAKE have announced the production of a fourth season of International Emmy-nominated animated hit series, Angelo Rules.
The multi-award winning comedy stars 11-year-old Angelo, a sweet-talking genius with a knack for getting out of trouble. The fourth season promises new plot twists, on-trend technology including virtual reality, crowdfunding, skype and social media as well as introducing brand new characters. Consisting of 52 x 11 minutes bringing the total number of episodes to 234, the fourth season will debut on TeleTOON+ and Super RTL in early 2018.
Canal +, director of kids division, Laurence Blaevoet commented, “Angelo Rules is the most popular show for six to 11 year olds on TeleTOON+. This fourth season is sure to be the funniest and most fun-filled so far – with ever more zany advice from everyone’s favourite hero, Angelo!”
Super RTL, director of programming, Carsten Göttel said, “Angelo offers action-packed adventures in a relatable setting. Dynamic characters combined with striking visuals and compelling storytelling make Angelo Rules a perfect fit for Super RTL and we are very much looking forward to a new season of this top performing series.”
CAKE, CEO and creative director, Tom van Waveren said, “It’s a rare privilege to get a chance to produce a full fourth season of an animation series. The fact that we have this opportunity on Angelo Rules is a tribute to the property and the wonderful team that has shaped and looked after Angelo over the years, our partners and Angelo’s many fans.”
Angelo Rules debuted in 2010 and has aired in over 100 countries, including on Cartoon Network EMEA, Asia and Latin America where it has been broadcasting continuously since its launch. It has been widely recognised within the animation industry receiving a Pulcinella Award at the 2010 Cartoons on the Bay Festival for the Best Kids TV Series, and nominations at the 2013 International Emmy Kids Awards; 2011 BANFF World Media Festival; the 2013 Trickfilm Festival; and Anima Mundi in 2012.
A TeamTO/CAKE co-production with TeleTOON+ and Super RTL in collaboration with France Television, Angelo Rules is based on the French series of books Comment Faire Enrager, written by Sylvie de Mathuisieulx and illustrated by Sébastien Diologent.
