Int’l nets move to Freaktown

Freaktown

Broadcasters the UK, Denmark and India have acquired the Canadian animated comedy series Freaktown from Portfolio Entertainment.

Sony Pictures Television-owned UK channel Kix, DR Ultra in Denmark and Disney in India will air the 26×30′ series, which premiered on Teletoon in Canada in June.

Based on a concept from Peter Ricq and Philippe Ivanusic, the creators of YTV series The League of Super Evil, Freaktown is aimed at six- to 11-year-olds and follows a bunch of friendly freaks fighting against the forces of cuteness.

The deals come after broadcasters including Cartoon Network, The Walt Disney Company and ABC in Australia acquired rights to the show last year.
