FremantleMedia Kids & Family Entertainment has greenlit a second season of its preschool series, "Kate & Mim-Mim" and signed a number of key new licensing partners for the brand.

The second season of the show will first launch on Disney Junior U.S. and will then air globally in late 2015. The series is produced by DHX Media, in association with FremantleMedia.

U.S.-based toy company Just Play is on board as global master toy partner and will initially focus on the development of plush, dolls, figure packs and role play products. The initial launch is scheduled in North America and the U.K. for spring 2016, followed by a wider international retail rollout in line with the second season.

Additionally, Penguin Young Readers, a division of Penguin Random House, has signed as the North American publishing partner for the brand. Penguin's initial line will launch in fall 2016 and will include storybooks, leveled readers, e-books and doodle, activity and sticker books.

“We are delighted to be collaborating with Just Play and Penguin Young Readers on 'Kate & Mim-Mim,'" says Andrea Brent, vice president, licensing and merchandising, FremantleMedia North America. "They are the perfect partners to help translate this fantastically imaginative and highly toyetic series into a range of creative toys and books that will engage and entertain young fans across the globe.”
