Nickelodeon has announced plans to air Saban Brands’ new animated series “Digimon Fusion” later this year.

“Digimon Fusion” is the sixth television installment in the Digimon franchise, which Saban Brands re-acquired in 2012.

“Digimon is the longest-running Japanese anime property, and has been enjoyed by kids for more than a decade,” says Elie Dekel, president, Saban Brands. “We’re thrilled to be bringing the all-new ‘Digimon Fusion’ TV series to Nickelodeon, where we have the opportunity to introduce the series to a new generation of children while still engaging long-time fans.”

“Digimon Fusion” will be distributed internationally (outside of Asia) by MarVista Entertainment.
