"Team Nuggets"
Serious Kids has secured a major broadcast deal with RTVE in Spain for "Team Nuggets" Series One. Targeted at 5-8 year olds, the gender neutral comedy series will air on Clan in Spring 2025. The series is currently airing on DR, Canal +, NRK, SVT, RÙV, SvYLE, Czech TV, RTV Slovenia, RTBF and RTS.
Commissioned by DR from Sparre Production and co-produced with Godo Films for Canal + France, the 52 x 7’ animated series "Team Nuggets" completed production in 2023 and went on to win the Pulcinella award for Best Animation in its target age group and landing the runner up prize at the much lauded Prix Jeunesse International Awards in 2024. The series also won both Best Children’s show and Most Innovative New Creation at Danish TV Prisen Awards show in 2024. The show has also won the first price at Rotterdam Children’s Film Festival 2024.
Serious Kids acquired the worldwide content distribution rights (ex Nordics and French Speaking Europe) from Sparre Production in 2024 following the case history presentation of the title at APD in Stuttgart. "Team Nuggets" is a highly original CG animated comedy series created by Sparre Productions in Denmark. It is a fast-paced primary school comedy starring an ambitious young chicken, Karla, and a band of very volatile and diverse classmates. Navigating school life for the first time is a huge deal and emotions run high. Lessons and school yard games often spill into chaos which can only be calmed by working out the important stuff; like true friendship and self-control.
Despite being a brand-new IP the show entered the top 10 on Canal + as soon as it was launched and on DR Ramasjang the series has an average 300k screenings per episode (based on a population of 6M). 60% of this number is made up of a family co-viewing.
"Team Nuggets" was co-financed with the support of CNC, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Haute Savoie, Cofiloisirs and the NordVision Fun. Sparre Production and Godo Films have begun pre-production on Series 2 of "Team Nuggets."
Leila Ouledcheikh, Head of Global Distribution at Serious Kids says “It is fantastic to have Clan onboard. This is a key collaboration as we look to ensure the success of ‘Team Nuggets’ around the globe. We are excited to soon reveal another major broadcast partner!”
Laura Montero from RTVE says”'Team Nuggets' is a rare gem, blending strong comedy with a unique CGI visual style that speaks to kids in their first years at school.”
Irene Sparre from Sparre Production says: “We are so delighted to see our series travel beyond France and Denmark, it is testament to the strength of our co-production with DR, Godo Films and Canal +.
