Paramount Global has been in the deal news with its big merger with David Ellison’s Skydance Media. But on Wednesday, two of the company’s kids brands unveiled a deal of their own. Nickelodeon unveiled new animated series Tim Rex in Space, its first global co-production with Channel 5’s Milkshake!

The show will premiere in 2025 on Nickelodeon channels in the U.S. and internationally, as well as on Milkshake! in the U.K.

Tim Rex in Space follows a Tyrannosaurus Rex (T-Rex) named Tim, his big brother Tommy, little sister Tia, and triceratops bestie Kai as “they tackle kid-shaped adventures with dino-sized solutions in space,” according to a show description. “Tim and his family live in a unique world comprised of a cluster of asteroids that make up the town of Rumbleton. This intergalactic environment is a quintessential 21st-century suburban town, with each asteroid hosting family homes, cafés,...

Exclusive: Former Netflix Emea Head of Animated Series Alexi Wheeler is launching UK-based production company Wheel In Motion under the auspices of burgeoning French content conglomerate Superprod Group.

The new company will develop new shows and movies targeting diverse audiences, in both animation and live-action genres.

The partnership was announced against the backdrop of France’s Annecy International Animation Film Festival, running from June 9 to 15, where Superprod Group will be out in force at the event’s MIFA market and Wheeler will also be in attendance.

Sharkdog is an animated series for children created by Jacinth Tan.

Tibucan is a dog, a shark… and at the same time he talks. There’s a bit of everything in this simple idea created especially for children.

Maybe the animation is not at Pixar’s level, maybe the stories are not enough to reflect on the transience of space-time or maybe the machines will end up with humanity, but what is also certain is that with Tibucan parents have the perfect excuse to take a little break from the little ones and earn that well-deserved rest.

They’ve earned it!

So many great stories in history start out with the key players hating each other — as it is in Netflix and A24’s “Beef,” streaming on Netflix in April. Amy (Ali Wong) and Danny (Steven Yeun) meet via parking lot bump turned action-movie car chase, their lives connecting and their road rage lingering in weeks and months after the incident. In reviewing the series, IndieWire’s Ben Travers said that “’Beef’ does a fine job balancing Amy and Danny’s practical intelligence and impractical passions; their bitterness toward the other driver ebbs and flows as their personal lives better or worsen, and it’s in these moments that the half-hour drama thrives.”

The series from Lee Sung Jin premieres on April 6. See below for more titles coming to Netflix in April 2023.

It was another banner week for Netflix’s “Clickbait” drama series, which was the most-viewed original streaming television show for the third week straight.

That stat comes from Nielsen’s latest report on the most-viewed streaming shows, which stated that “Clickbait” was viewed for 1,108 million minutes from September 6 to September 12, narrowly beating out “Lucifer,” the always-popular Netflix drama that premiered its sixth and final season on the streaming service September 10. “Lucifer” has long been a ratings hit and a mainstay on many of Nielsen’s latest streaming reports and will likely endure on Nielsen’s weekly rankings as fans bid farewell to the fantasy series, which originally premiered on Fox in 2016. “Lucifer” was the second most-viewed show of the week, with 1,052 million minutes viewed, after only two days of availability.

Nielsen’s data is only based on United States audiences using TV sets and only covers Netflix, Amazon Prime Video,...

Don’t know if you’ve heard but Netflix is doing pretty well with their local language releases. Now, with its list of new releases for September 2021, Netflix is leading with one of its biggest international hits.

Season 5 of the worldwide smash Money Heist is set to premiere its first half on Sept. 3. This Spanish series (called La Casa de Papel in its native tongue) about a group of geographically-named thieves found new life on Netflix to become a global phenomenon. Other international series of note this month include Sex Education and Jaguar.

Netflix’s roster of originals in September 2021 is pretty packed even beyond that. The final season of Lucifer premieres on Sept. 10. That will be followed by He-Man and the Masters of the Universe on Sept. 16 (not to be confused with Masters of the Universe: Revelation) and Mike Flanagan’s next horror series, Midnight Mass, on Sept. 24.
