Disney Channel welcomes Fashion Friends

Maggie & Bianca: Fashion Friends

Disney Channel has taken rights to the first live-action series from Winx Club producer Rainbow in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Maggie & Bianca: Fashion Friends follows the tumultuous friendship between a free-spirited American girl who wins a scholarship to attend a fashion academy in Milan and her snobbish classmate, the daughter of a famous Italian entrepreneur.

The pair go on to form a band together with their classmates. Episodes feature the group performing together, with actors Emanuela di Crosta and Giorgia Boni providing the vocals for 11 original songs.

Season one began airing in Italy on Rai Gulp in August and a second run is now in production. The series is written by Elena Bucaccio, Emanuela Canonico and Iginio Straffi, founder and president of Rainbow Group.

It follows Netflix picking up worldwide SVoD rights to the show towards the end of last year. Other buyers of Maggie & Bianca include Gulli in France, Karousel in Russia, and TV Cultura in Brazil.
