Canal+ picks up KO Distribution's live-action series "The Pact" for its kids channel in France

KO Distribution has licensed two completed seasons (48x22') of the fun-filled young audience (9-12) live-action series "The Pact" to French leading premium broadcaster Canal+. The Canadian distributor will be presenting "The Pact" at Kidscreen Summit, that will take place from February 4 to 7 in San Diego.

"The Pact" is a heart-warming, exhilarating, and entertaining series that follows three young outcasts who form a pact to safeguard each other’s deepest secrets. This alliance is also crucial for them to uncover the Anonymous Vandal, who has been causing chaos at school and seems to be well-informed about each of their lives. To accomplish this objective, they must strive to become the best versions of themselves with the help of one another. This tale of camaraderie delves into themes of financial instability, anxiety, and inclusivity. The primary quest of the show changes every season. In season 2, they will have to redefine the pact between them when new secrets come to light and will investigate an arsonist that used to run rampant at their school when some of their parents were students.

“We are so thrilled to join forces with Canal + and eager to introduce this special series to young audience throughout France.” noted Mia Desroches, Vice President of International Distribution, KO Distribution. “This show celebrates the meaning of friendship, courage, self-esteem and the importance of having a sense of belonging while growing up and is certain to be popular with this new group of kids and their families.”

“We are delighted to be able to broadcast 'The Pact' on CANAL+Kids, a series that's totally in tune with the everyday concerns of today's teenagers, with strong, engaging characters who don't resort to caricature, and a story that engages viewers from start to finish.” Said Christine Cauquelin-Malitte, Head of Kids Department at Canal+.

Additionally, Tele-Quebec, who has been a valued partner on "The Pact" since its first season, has set February 2024 for the premiere of the 3rd Season of the popular series on Tele-Quebec.
