The acquisition brings under Mediawan’s umbrella the Paris-based company behind hit series "La Flamme" and "Le Flambeau", co-founded by Benjamin Bellecour, Jean-Toussaint Bernard, and Jonathan Cohen. Upcoming releases include Netflix’s "Les Lionnes" and the theatrical debut "L’Âme idéale", co-produced with Gaumont.

The series follows the hit feature film "Pil’s Adventures", released theatrically in 2021 and sold in over 80 territories worldwide.

The partnership gives Popcorn Storm access to Banijay UK's Scripted Hub and a first-look distribution deal with Banijay Rights. The company, led by Tom Harper and Negeen Yazdi, has titles in development with BBC, Netflix, Peacock, and Amazon, and previously delivered global hits including “The Aeronauts” and “A Gentleman in Moscow.”

The expanded deal will see the continuation of hit Stan exclusives and will also bring an extensive catalogue of iconic Sony Pictures Television series and global blockbuster films to Stan. 

The deal adapts the viral digital hit "Claynosaurz"—with over 450 million views and a fanbase of 530,000—into a 39-episode animated series, marking Mediawan Kids & Family’s strategic push into creator-led, transmedia IP development.
