The French CG-animated series ‘Louca’ is gaining traction with pre-sales and co-production deals before its MIPCOM debut. The show, based on a popular comic series, follows a teenager’s journey to football stardom with the help of a ghost, blending humor and heartwarming themes across 26 episodes.
The upcoming CG-animated comedy series ‘Louca,’ based on the popular French comic book series, is generating buzz ahead of its debut at MIPCOM. Studio 100 International, the distributor, has revealed a series of pre-sales and co-production agreements, with TF1 as the lead broadcaster, along with partners RTBF, TFOU Max, RTS, and TV5 Monde, with more deals in progress.
‘Louca,’ a collaboration between Media Valley in France and Belvision in Belgium, adapts the best-selling comic series from Dupuis, known for selling over a million copies in French-speaking markets and multiple translations. Directed by Cyril Adam, the show follows a clumsy teenager aspiring to be a football hero, aided by Nathan, the ghost of his school’s former team captain, in a story of friendship, self-belief, and the challenges of growing up.
The series, comprising 26 episodes of 22 minutes each, combines high-quality CG animation with family-friendly humor. Various French and Belgian entities, including CNC and regional funds, are supporting the production. Timed to coincide with the 2026 World Cup, ‘Louca’ is set to release initial episodes by mid-2026, with full delivery later in the year.
Studio 100 International will handle global distribution, licensing, and merchandising, while TF1 Licensing will manage rights in French-speaking regions. ‘Louca’ will be presented to potential buyers at MIPCOM, expanding Studio 100’s children and family content lineup alongside titles like ‘Maya the Bee,’ ‘Heidi,’ and ‘100% Wolf’.
