Epic Storyworlds has secured a major international distribution agreement with TV5MONDE+, bringing its animated children's series Guiby The Super Baby to French-speaking audiences across 160 territories. The deal with the global French-language streaming platform will make the 30 x 7-minute series available on more than 60 million screens across Europe, Africa, Asia, the Pacific, the Middle East, the United States and Latin America.

Produced in Quebec and based on the popular comic book created by Samuel Parent, Guiby The Super Baby was commissioned by and produced in collaboration with Télé-Québec. Targeting children aged 6-9, the series follows a fearless young boy who battles the monsters that emerge from children's nighttime fears.

“We’re thrilled to be launching Guiby out into the world with such a strong partner in TV5MONDE+,” said Steve Couture, President and Executive Producer of Epic Storyworlds. “Guiby was born in Quebec, but the story of a courageous three-and-a-half-year-old who turns his fear into a superpower will resonate with children everywhere. At Epic Storyworlds, we believe that stories from Quebec have the potential to shine well beyond our borders – our stories for young audiences combine universally relatable themes with a distinctively Québécois flavour. We know that Guiby and his adventures will captivate young Francophone viewers around the world, and encourage them to discover the strength that can be found in facing their fears."
Jessica Labi, Head of Distribution and Brand Strategy at Epic Story Media, added: "We are thrilled to work with TV5MONDE+ and introduce Guiby The Super Baby to the global market. Guiby delivers what kids want to watch: action-packed adventures, heroic characters and thrilling battles against monsters."

The TV5MONDE+ agreement marks the latest milestone for the franchise, which has also built a growing digital audience. The Guiby experience on Roblox has generated more than 455,000 plays and over 38,000 hours of gameplay, while the brand’s YouTube channel has already attracted 24,000 subscribers following the launch of English-language episodes last week.
