ZDF Studios has entered into a new agreement with global channel provider and distributor wedotv, which will act as the pay-TV partner for Pash, a brand that was previously a digital-only on-demand service.

Pash features a portfolio of over 500 hours of animation and live-action series, including titles such as "Dibidoo", "The Muscleteers", "Space Nova", and "H2O – Mermaid Adventures", alongside classics like "Lassie", "Peter Pan", and "The Jungle Book". Through this deal, Pash will make its pay-TV debut with wedotv launching localized versions in Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Poland, as well as an English version for the Middle East, Northern Asia, and Southeast Asia.

Jan‑Frederik Maul, Director Junior at ZDF Studios, said: “With wedotv we gain a strong partner who shares our vision for responsible, high‑quality children’s programming. Expanding Pash into additional regions and into the pay‑TV segment is an important step, ensuring that even more families around the world can access our content.”

Philipp Rotermund, founder and CEO of wedotv, added: “Pash is an ideal addition to our portfolio: high‑quality, trustworthy, and internationally successful children’s series, carefully curated and backed by clear quality standards. We are delighted to bring this content to new territories together with ZDF Studios and to continue expanding our audience base.”

The Pash brand is already established as a streaming channel on platforms such as Amazon Prime Video and YouTube across twelve European countries, as well as in North and South America.
