Deal highlights continued demand for DHX Media’s original content

DHX Media (or the “Company”) (TSX: DHX.A, DHX.B; NASDAQ: DHXM), a leading global children’s content and brands company, has signed a new deal with Hulu that grants the premium streaming service the exclusive subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) rights in the U.S. for season one of its hit animated kids’ comedy, Supernoobs. All past episodes of the series are now streaming exclusively on Hulu.

“Hulu is a fantastic home for Supernoobs, a zany and exciting original DHX Media series that is tailor-made to get kids laughing as they follow four kids on epic and outrageous adventures,” said Josh Scherba, EVP Content and Distribution at DHX Media. “This exclusive deal speaks to the increasing commitment to content being made by leading SVOD services, at a time when kids are hungry to find their next favourite show. We’re certain Supernoobs is such a show and that Hulu subscribers will love this series from Scott Fellows, creator of another DHX Media hit, Johnny Test.”

Supernoobs is a 2D animated kids’ comedy, originally developed with and commissioned by Corus Entertainment in Canada for their English and French animation network, TELETOON. Season one (26 x 30’) is produced out of DHX Media’s Vancouver studio. Supernoobs is created by Scott Fellows, who is also behind DHX Media’s hit animated series, Johnny Test, created for the same target audience.

Supernoobs is a super-powered series in which four 12-year-old best friends – Kevin, Tyler, Shope, and the Roach – are accidentally recruited by an intergalactic alliance to help stop an evil space-virus spreading across the galaxy. So now these “noobs” have to not only survive the harrowing hallways of middle school, but have to crush microcosmic infections that turn earthlings into contagious beasts with one goal in mind – destroying Earth. Sometimes it’s hard to decide which mission is harder!

The series joins a collection of animated children’s series from DHX Media now streaming on Hulu, including Dr. Dimensionpants.
