Acamar Films’ preschool series “Bing” continues to grow with a number of broadcasters showing commitment with new broadcast deals in the Netherlands, Nordics, Poland, Portugal and Canada.  

In the Netherlands, NPO Zappelin, the Dutch television program block for children aged 2-6, has relicensed seasons one through three following the premiere of season four on the channel in January this year.

In the Nordics, SVOD and DVD service SF Kids has built on its existing relationship with “Bing,” having recently acquired season four.
