Nickelodeon To Launch The Nick Play App In Poland, Sweden, Norway And Denmark In Spring 2016

Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) Northern Europe will be continuing the global roll-out of Nickelodeon's award-winning Nick Play app with the launch of the Nickelodeon app in Poland (Polska), Sweden (Sverige), Norway (Norge) and Denmark (Danmark) this Spring!


The quartet of new launches will take Nick Play (formerly the Nick App) into 41 international markets with notable recent launches including in Australia and with OSN in the MENA region.


The interactive app features full-length episodes of hit Nickelodeon shows, original short-form videos, exclusive games and behind the scenes footage, with new content added daily. The Nick App has a moveable tile layout that can be swiped in any direction, promoting discovery and exploration and offers kids instant and on-demand access to Nickelodeon-themed content. Kids can also 'favourite' their favorite videos and watch them whenever they want.

The goal of the app is to go beyond free video viewing, and instead offer more interactive content not seen on television - whenever and wherever the user wants it. As a result, it was honoured with a Creative Arts Emmy in the Outstanding Creative Achievement in Interactive Media category in September 2013, as well as a Broadcast Digital Award in 2014 and a Meffy Sector Award in 2015.


Nick Play is available for iOS and Android devices and can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and Google Play.


Following its launch in 2013, Nick Play has been downloaded and installed four million times to date.

"Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir" Greenlit For Second And Third Seasons; Moving To New Timeslot On Nickelodeon USA

Jeremy Zag, the founder of Zag Entertainment, has announced the exciting news in a post on his official Instagram profile page, @Jeremy_Zag, that Zag and Toei Animation's popular CG-animated Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir television series has been renewed for two more seasons! The announcement was made on 20th November 2015.


Thomas Astruc, the creator and director of Miraculous, Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir, has revealed that both new seasons - season two and season three - will each feature 26 episodes, and will feature story arcs.

Additionally, Zap2it TV Listings is reporting that beginning Sunday 21st February 2016, brand-new episodes of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir premiere every Sunday at the new time of 7:00pm ET/PT on Nick USA.

The 3D CG Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir series debuted in South Korea in September 2015, before premiering in the United States on Nickelodeon on December 6. The series is also airing in France and Australia, and will premiere in Canada, New Zealand, EMEA, Latin America, Italy, Brazil, Belgium, Switzerland, and Lithuania.

The 26-episode series follows two junior high students, Marinette and Adrien, chosen to save Paris from the evil doings of a mysterious super-villain. The storylines and adventures are rich with friends, family, fun, secret identity, transformation, villains, fashion, creativity and more, all within the spectacular backdrop of Paris.


As secret identity superheroes Ladybug and Cat Noir, Marinette and Adrien must balance the crazy antics of normal teen life while stopping weekly baddies deployed by Hawk Moth to steal their powers and take over the world. With the help of their magical kwami, Tikki and Plagg, and miraculous jewels, the duo transform into their alter egos, Ladybug and Cat Noir, and are granted powers of speed, strength, agility and a clear mind.

The series is a co-production between Zag, Method Animation, Toei Animation, and SamG, with the participation of TF1, Disney Channel EMEA, SK Broadband, and AB droits audiovisuels.

Zag Entertainment, Toei Animation, and Method Animation co-produced a 2D-animated promotional video for the project announcement before relaunching it as a CG-animated series. Zag and Toei Animation are co-producing a 2D-animated OVA for the series, though it will include Cat Noir's design from the 3D CG-animated series, not the older design used in the promotional video.


Bandai America unveiled its brand-new Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir toy line at the 2016 North American International Toy Fair. Targeted to girls ages 4-8, the Miraculous toy line is set to launch this Fall/Autumn at mass and specialty retailers across the world. Shout! Factory has also announced plans to release Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir on home video in North America later this year.

Targeted to girls ages 4-8, the Miraculous toy line will feature a robust assortment of toys centered on aspirational action play, transformation and friendship, including action dolls for girls, transformational role play, plush pets and fashion dolls, guaranteed to bring the Miraculous Ladybug brand to life. The range is set to launch this Fall/Autumn at mass and specialty retailers across the world.
