National Geographic Channel has acquired the first season of DOKI (26 x 30) for its kids block in the Middle East and North Africa, while Studio U7’s Channel Ryzhy in Russia has purchased the first and second season of the series (52 x 30). DOKI is an animated series that centres around curious Doki and his friends who travel the world to answer important preschool questions.
