Nelvana Lands Worldwide Broadcast Deals For New BEYBLADE Series

Nelvana Enterprises is proud to announce it has signed a volume of major international deals for its BEYWARRIORS BEYRAIDERZ series.

The 13 x half hour animated series launched on January 4, 2014 on YTV in Canada. The series then premiered on Cartoon Network in the U.S. with a four-episode marathon on January 25th. Other broadcast partners include Gulli in France; Cartoon Network in Australia and New Zealand; Club RTL in French-speaking Belgium and Luxembourg; and Dreamia in Portugal.

BEYWARRIORS BEYRAIDERZ is based upon the global phenomena BEYBLADE and follows three characters Sho, Jin and Leon, who are trapped in a strange parallel world. Once defended by the Six Mythic Beasts who upheld justice and brought prosperity to all through the battling BeyRaiderz tournaments, this world has since fallen into decay and ruin following the disappearance of the Mythic Beasts. Now it's up to Sho and his friends to uncover the hidden BeyRaiderz stadiums, do battle with the enemy and bring the Mythic Beasts back to restore prosperity to the derelict world.

The series' international broadcast debut coincides with Hasbro's BEYWARRIORS BEYRAIDERZ toy line which is now rolling out globally.
