France’s Ankama and France Televisions are moving into production on Ankama’s first TV comedy property “Abraca,” as the Gallic gaming-comic-book icon, best known in TV for its “Wakfu” and “Dofus” series, ups the ante on its animation ambitions. It is also branching out from its core young adult demo biz as it also explores new formats, program types and distribution platforms.
Dropping the flag on Ankama’s first pure comedy, Gallic pubcaster France Televisions announced at last week’s Annecy MIFA mart that it would co-finance and broadcast “Abraca,” a property that Ankama is also developing into an online role-play party game.
A zany half-hour comedy TV series for 6-11s about a geeky tween and impulsive vigilante girl who team to protect fairy tale creatures, the splashy colored “Abraca” will go into production later this year, Frederic Puech, Ankama audiovisual director and SVP animation, confirmed at a Annecy MIFA mart presentation of Ankama’s 2015-16 lineup.
