TEAMTO AND CAKE KICK OFF "ANGELO RULES" SEASON 5

TeamTO and CAKE have announced the fifth "Angelo Rules" series with co-production partners France Télévisions, Canal+ and Super RTL.  The launch of the new Season 5 (1x60’ + 46x11’) will start with Angelo’s first ever Christmas comedy special which will be broadcast on Canal+ and Super RTL on Christmas day 2021.

The full 5th Season of "Angelo Rules" will launch in France and Germany in 2022 and will introduce a brand-new rival: West Side Academy, a shiny, fancy, modern school. Rumor has it they have a pool, a dairy farm, a green roof where kids grow their own lunch, a surf club, a black-box theater, a music recording studio, and more. The ongoing battle between the two schools gives Angelo and friends the opportunity to ally with some of their old rivals, like Tracy, Mr. Foot, and Manetti. Now that they all have a common enemy, get ready for some epic Angelo mayhem.

Pierre Siracusa, Director of Youth Programming and Animation, France Télévisions, commented, “France Télévisions, the leading partner in French animation production, is proud to continue its collaboration with TeamTO on this successful series, enjoyed by our young viewers on Okoo, our public broadcasting kids platform, as well as on France 4. The new themes of this latest season and the arrival of an event-driven long-format adventure usher in an even brighter future for our on-screen hero and his sidekicks, to the certain delight of Angelo’s many young fans.”

Nathalie Leffray, Head of Animation Development, Canal+ Kids Department, added, “Canal+ has been supporting all of Angelo’s cunning plans since the beginning! Like his faithful friends Victor and Lola, we are delighted to follow him once again into his 5th series - starting with a totally loopy and surprising holiday Special where the spirit of Christmas is challenged by a more mischievous and spirited Angelo than ever. And for the great enjoyment of our viewers, the special will be available exclusively on our channels and Mycanal at the end of this year.”

Thorsten Braun, Chief Content & Revenue Officer, Super RTL, stated, “We are very pleased that we can finally present this long-running show in film length. The festive Christmas setting is bound to inspire joy and giddy anticipation in our young audience, and Angelo’s tumultuous quest for his own Christmas miracle will keep kids on the edge of their seats.”

Corinne Kouper, SVP Development & Production, TeamTO, commented “After more than ten successful, fun-filled years on air, it was about time Angelo starred in his own feature length adventure. Angelo’s original take on the spirit of Christmas is sure to make sparks fly!”

Tom van Waveren, CEO & Exec Producer at CAKE said, “It’s rare to have the privilege of producing five seasons of a series and it’s very rewarding to keep bringing more Angelo stories to millions of Angelo fans.”
