Disney Interactive Media Group has partnered with Outfit7 to develop a web series featuring Talking Friends. The animated series is the first toward expanding the franchise beyond mobile to a broader online entertainment platform. 

The series will run on Disney.com, Disney’s new network on YouTube and will be accessible through the Talking Friends mobile apps.

“Tom, Ben and the entire Talking Friends cast are international celebrities who have built strong emotional connections with millions of fans worldwide,” says Samo Login, founder and chief executive officer, Out Fit 7, the parent company of Outfit7. “As a result they are transcending the mobile space to new entertainment mediums with online video being one of the first. Partnering with the renowned creative talent at Disney, in addition to Disney’s broad distribution capabilities, allows Talking Friends fans everywhere to experience the characters in a fantastic new manner.”
