DUBAI, November 9, 2015
Icflix, a leading online streaming service in the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region, has commissioned a new and original children's action-comedy animated series, titled 'Dunia.'
The first season will consist of 10 episodes and will premiere globally on Icflix this December, said a statement.
Dunia, Arabia's first teen female superhero, is mainly targeted at children aged 12 and below, but will also appeal to older teenagers and adults alike.
The series follows the adventures of a lively Dunia, who uses her secret martial art skills to fight injustice as well as enlighten and reinforce positive social behaviour with her peers, it said.
Fadi Mehio, co-founder and chairman, said: "The series aims not only to entertain but also to educate children with important social messages.
"Dunia will have the potential to become a positive role model for children across the Arab world, sending out strong messages of awareness to children and adults alike."
Although the series has been produced in Arabic, Dunia will also be available in English and French making it accessible to a wider audience, said the statement.
Iclflix is currently in the process of finalising five additional animated original productions to add to its growing library of kids' entertainment, it added. - TradeArabia News Service
