More than 350 hours of programming from the Adult Swim block on Turner Broadcasting’s Cartoon Network will be available at this year’s MipTV, including such cult hits as Robot Chicken, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! and Metalocalypse.
Screen Opus will assist Turner in the distribution of content from the top-rated content, which has ranked No. 1 in total delivery of adults 18 ‘ 24 for 14 consecutive quarters and No. 1 with men 18 ‘ 34 for 11 of the last 14 quarters.
‘Adult Swim is a huge hit in the US and we’re looking to replicate this success with TV syndication deals across EMEA,’ says Nicolas Bonard, co-president and founder, Screen Opus
Programs available include Robot Chicken (80 x 15′), an Emmy award-winning animation series which parodies popular culture, bringing stop-motion animated toys and action figures to life in 3-D worlds; Aqua Teen Hunger Force (88 x 15′) follows the surreal and comic adventures of a group of mystery-solving fast food animated characters; Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! (30 x 15′) stars comedy duo Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim in a satirical comedy show which consists of sketches, fake commercials, prank phone calls and all manner of slapstick off-the-wall humor; and Metalocalypse (40 x 15′) an animated comedy series which follows the exploits of a fictitious half American, half Scandinavian death metal band known as Dethklok.
