Since its debut on Netflix, WildBrain’s Emmy-winning animated take on Carmen Sandiego has been a big hit for the steamer. The first four seasons of the 2D-animated show, which was produced by WildBrain and Harper Collins Production­s and features the voices of Gina Rodriguez and Finn Wolfhard, will be available at the MIPCOM market. As any child of the ‘90s will tell you, the show follows the adventures of the red fedora-wearing master thief who uses her skills for good. As she pulls off a string of internatio­nal capers, the show uncovers Sandiego’s backstory and why she became a thief.

Caroline Tyre, WildBrain’s VP of global sales and rights strategy, tells us,“It’s been a thrill for our talented teams to be part of the reinventio­n of this beloved and iconic property, and with new consumer products licensing opportunit­ies in the pipeline, Carmen Sandiego is proving to be more popular now than ever before. We’ve already secured deals for the Carmen Sandiego series with Disney for its linear channels in Japan and France, and we see significan­t potential for the series in all markets.”
