Rainbow major new action series "Gormiti - The New Era" (20x22’) will make its UK debut on CBBC and iPlayer in Spring 2025. Already a pop culture phenomenon, the hugely-popular adventure franchise "Gormiti" has been reinvented into a high-octane, live-action series, "Gormit - The New Era", with exhilarating CGI effects, a super-talented cast and thrilling storylines.

Iginio Straffi, Rainbow founder and CEO, said: “This landmark new series embodies everything that Rainbow does best – with strong, relatable characters, high-quality production values, great storytelling and universally-appealing themes. I couldn’t be more delighted that we’ve partnered with such a top-quality broadcaster as the BBC to bring it to CBBC and iPlayer for the UK’s children to enjoy. We look forward to seeing the title thrive in this important market.”

"Gormiti - The New Era" follows the pulsating adventures of four young heroes from Earth who are called to save the fantasy realm of Gorm – and Earth itself – from war and destruction. The series has been produced with Giochi Preziosi, who created the original intellectual property in 2005, distributing it to over 50 countries worldwide. It will broadcast on CBBC and iPlayer in Spring 25, having already enjoyed highly-successful launches in Spain on Clan, in France on Gulli, in Italy on Rai 2, Rai Gulp and Rai Play, and in Greece on Nickelodeon.

The partnership will see TEC Movie invest approximately 90 million euros in Rainbow, allowing the company to invest in the large-scale international expansion of brands like "Winx Club" and "Gormiti", and enabling future global growth.
