Art Ninja has been commissioned for a fifth season and also tops the charts at CBBC and will be available in spring 2019. We have acquired a new series, Gigglebug, which has just completed production of all 52 episodes of a brand-new English version created by Milkshake! The property comes from our coproducers on Best & Bester, which is a nice alignment for our two companies. GKids will be releasing Studio Ghibli’s Ronja, the Robber’s Daughter in the U.S. this winter, and it is also arriving in China this year via our deal with UYoung.” —Genevieve Dexter, CEO
