Created and directed by Hugo Gittard, seasons five and six will revolve around the theme of summer vacations, with each season exploring a “perfect holiday” scenario from the perspective of one of the show’s main characters.
Marc du Pontavice, Founder and CEO of Xilam Animation, commented: “With its fun-loving characters and hilarious adventures across land and sea, ‘Zig & Sharko’ perfectly captures the universal appeal of non-dialogue slapstick comedy. Together with our trusted partners at M6, we’re thrilled to dive into two new seasons that take the characters further than ever before, redefining their relationships while staying true to their iconic personalities.”
Philippe Bony, President of Gulli, added: “We are absolutely delighted to continue this wonderful journey with the talented teams at Xilam. Their creativity and contagious enthusiasm have made Zig and Sharko beloved characters that have been capturing the hearts of families on Gulli for the past ten years.”
