German networks lock down Lockie

Germany’s national free-to-air children’s channel KiKa and ARD channel Das Erste have picked up the first two seasons of Australian family drama Lockie Leonard.

Lockie Leonard is set in small-town Western Australia

The Australian Children’s Television Foundation sold the first two runs (52×24’) to Bayerischer Rundfunk and ARD for screening on KiKa and Das Erste.

Currently being dubbed into German in Berlin, the live-action series, produced by Goalpost Pictures, is based on Tim Winton’s books and is set on the surfing coast of south-western Australia.
