Nickelodeon has teamed up with Ellipse Animation and Belvision to bring the new CG-animated series The Marsupilamis to audiences worldwide, excluding the U.S. and China. The show is scheduled to premiere in fall 2025, marking a significant international broadcast deal in today’s industry landscape.

The series reimagines the iconic character created by André Franquin, known for its distinctive features like an eight-meter tail, spotted fur, and signature ‘Houba’ cry. Set in the city instead of the Palombian jungle, the story follows twins Jade and Mica as they care for three newly hatched Marsupilamis left by their explorer parents.

Notable European talents are leading the project, with director Célestine Jacquel-Plays, head writers Andrew Barnett Jones and Ciaran Murtagh, and artistic director Guilhem Deckers. Caroline Duvochel, from Média-Participations and Ellipse Animation, expressed excitement about the series, highlighting a strong branding strategy and collaboration with Paramount to elevate the character’s global presence.

Layla Lewis, Senior Vice President at Nickelodeon, praised the series for its fresh take on the beloved character, blending humor, heart, and adventure. The show has also been commissioned by several other networks and will be showcased at Mipcom by Mediatoon Distribution, with a consumer products program launching at Brand Licensing Europe.
