Unterföhring (euro adhoc) - 8 June 2009 - Following successful worldwide sales
of the first Season, TV-Loonland and French broadcaster Gulli TV have
commissioned a further two brand new Seasons of the hit animated comedy series
RAYMOND. This sharp and quirky series is produced by Paris based production
company Everybody on Deck, the addition of 52 hilarious new episodes of 7
minutes will complement the existing 26 episodes of the show.
Indeed, the series continues to attract broadcaster interest worldwide with most
recent sign-ups being Cartoon Network Japan, Sweden´s N°1 commercial Broadcaster
TV4 and International Francophone Channel TV5 Monde scooping up broadcast rights
for airing in Europe, North Africa, the Orient, Asia, the United States, Latin
America and the Caribbean.
The odds may be stacked against him, but Raymond just never gives up! Being a
somewhat strange-looking, super self-conscious, and a natural born worrier can
make life pretty complicated for an eight-year old - but his gentle quirky
nature and wry sense of humour make Raymond both truly unique and totally
irresistible.
Olivier Dumont, Managing Director at TV-Loonland: "We are thrilled to support
Everybody On Deck in this new venture with the commissioning of not only one but
two new Seasons of RAYMOND. With a greater number of episodes we expect sales to
grow even more strongly as broadcasters can rely on a steady stream of episodes
to fuel strong ratings."
The first season has already been placed with major broadcasters including Canal
+ and Gulli TV in France, ABC Australia, DR TV Denmark and MNET in South Africa.
TV-Loonland holds worldwide rights for the show targeting kids aged 7 to 10
years.
