Wildseed Studios Joins Mediawan Kids & Family

Mediawan Kids & Family, the European independent multi-genre studio dedicated to the production and distribution of children's and family content for audiences worldwide, has announced its first international acquisition for the division with the purchase of a majority stake in UK-based production company Wildseed Studios.

Multi-award winning Wildseed Studios is the leading UK destination for emerging and established talent looking to produce creator-led scripted live action and animated content for children, families and young adults, for the international market.

The company was founded in 2013 by Jesse Cleverly, former Head of co-productions and acquisitions at BBC Children's and Miles Bullough, former Head of broadcast at Aardman Animations. It has produced worldwide hits such as the family live action series The Last Bus (Netflix), multi-award winning feature film Hungerford, children’s animation series Dodo (Sky Kids), kids 8-11 animated comedy Counterfeit Cat (Disney Channel) and soon-to-be-screened Special Ama’s Story (Sky Kids).

The new partnership will allow Mediawan Kids & Family to enrich its catalogue with new animation and live action content and extend its network of international talent. It will also provide a strong and complementary addition to its existing portfolio of studios.
