French producer Millimages has sold 3 seasons of its best-selling IP Molang and TV specials to Sony Pictures Television Networks (SPTN) in the UK. SPTN will launch the series on TINY POP from September 29th to greet back-to-schoolers. The family IP Molang has now reached over 190 countries and counts a total of 156 episodes plus TV Specials which cover 3 different themes: Halloween, Christmas and Summer Holidays.

Ian Wickham, Director of Licensing Link who represent Molang in the UK said “we are absolutely delighted with this development as Molang readies himself for free to air TV here in the UK. The show is building awareness both in the US and across Europe, so timing is perfect for us to now make our mark here in the UK too”. He went on to say “With the level of commitment we’ve received for the show in terms of broadcast scheduling and key categories signed, then the future is most definitely looking bright”.
