German media companies Studio 100 Media and m4e are joining forces with Dubai-based MBC Group for a deal that covers TV, digital media and consumer product rights for the CGI preschool series Wissper in the Middle East and Northern Africa territories.

About a seven-year-old girl, born with the magical ability to whisper to animals, Wissper is a CGI German-English children’s animated television series.

MBC Group holds the basic cable and satellite free-TV-rights as well as non-exclusive worldwide basic cable and satellite free-TV-rights, limited to Arabic dubbed language only. Included in this deal are SVOD and AVOD rights on MBC’s platforms. At the same time MBC Group will act as the exclusive licensing agent for Wissper in the MENA region.

Broadcast of the adventures of the little girl has reportedly started on MBC3 and the first roll out of the consumer product programme will be in fall 2018 with Simba Toys Middle East.
