Ink Global and Rai YoYo have signed a deal to broadcast “Masha’s Tales,” a new spin-off series from “Masha and the Bear,” across Italy.

The series, produced by Animaccord, will follow Masha as she entertains her toys with stories reinvented to fit her own take on life.

“Masha’s Tales” is set to launch on Rai YoYo in the first quarter of this year.

“We’re delighted to be extending our relationship with Rai YoYo so that Italian children will be able to enjoy ‘Masha’s Tales,’” says Claus Tømming, director, Ink Global. “It’s a beautiful show that combines wit, warmth and humor and I’m sure it will be a big hit in Italy.”
