ZDF Studios, the commercial subsidiary of German public broadcaster ZDF, and Studio 100 International have signed an agreement to extend their existing international content partnership, which began in April 2022, to the German-speaking market.
Going forward, titles from Studio 100, a producer and distributor of children’s and family entertainment, will be available in Germany, Austria and Switzerland on the ZDF select and ZDF tivi channels via Amazon, on Deutsche Telekom’s MagentaTV, and on Apple TV.
The programming from the catalogues of ZDF Studios and Studio 100 International will offer a wide range of series and films targeting both children and their parents. The line-up includes well-known series such as Maya the Bee (pictured), Mia and me, Vic the Viking and Heidi.
“Studio 100 International is a long-standing and reliable partner with whom we’ve been successfully collaborating for over three years on our Amazon channels in the UK, France, Italy, Spain and Poland. We’re delighted that we can now offer Studio 100 International’s programmes as a perfect complement to our portfolio, bringing a fantastic viewing experience to children in Germany, Austria and Switzerland,” said Niko Chainopoulos, Sales & Acquisition Director Junior at ZDF Studios.
Martin Krieger, CEO of Studio 100 International, added: “The combination of our highlights and ZDF Studios’ programming creates the perfect mix of successful brands and beloved classics, allowing us to offer a highly attractive package for young viewers. This unique selection of curated children’s content is sure to delight audiences in the German-speaking region. We’re therefore very pleased to expand our collaboration with ZDF Studios.”
