November 1, 2016, Toronto, Canada - Corus Entertainment's Nelvana, a world-leading producer and distributor of children's content, has expanded its broadcast partnership with SUPER RTL, Germany's leading children's broadcaster, to bring a trio of live-action and animated kids' series - Hotel Transylvania: The Series, Ranger Rob and Stanley Dynamic - to viewers across Germany.

Stanley Dynamic, which centers on the twin Stanley brothers - live-action brother Larry and animated brother Luke - made its SUPER RTL debut in July, while Ranger Rob, the animated adventure series that follows a curious, leap-before-you-look, pintsized explorer as he navigates Big Sky Park, is set to premiere early 2017. Hotel Transylvania: The Series, based on the blockbuster film franchise from Sony Pictures that has grossed over $1 billion in global box office and home entertainment sales, is slated to launch in 2018.

We are very excited to expand our relationship with SUPER RTL, the market leader in Germany, with these three dynamic kids' series, said Antoine Erligmann, Head, Nelvana Enterprises EMEA. Each of these shows immerses young viewers in unique, fun-filled stories and escapades that are sure to resonate with audiences across the country.

With the new animated series and live-action/animated sitcom, we have ramped up our kids programming offerings with three very unique shows, said SUPER RTL Programming Director, Carsten G ttel. The inquisitive, nature-loving Ranger Rob,' the funny cartoon brother Luke placed within the (real) Stanley family and the vibrant characters from the successful feature film franchise Hotel Transylvania' are perfectly poised to win over both kids and their parents alike and we are delighted to present them to our audiences across Germany.

In addition to SUPER RTL, all three shows will air on TOGGO Plus one hour after their initial TV broadcast and stream on kividoo, SUPER RTL's video-on-demand platform.
