Studio 100 International has acquired the worldwide distribution rights to Chill Out, Zeus!, a new animated comedy-adventure series produced by Germany’s die film gmbh in co-production with ARD / HR and Spain’s COZ AIE. The 52 x 12-minute series will be presented to international buyers at MIPCOM 2026. Targeting children aged 6–12, Chill Out, Zeus! puts a contemporary spin on the stories of Greek mythology, combining comedy and action with family dynamics.

Inspired by Frank Schwieger’s children’s book I, Zeus & the Olympic Gang (German title: Ich, Zeus und die Bande vom Olymp), the series introduces young audiences to the gods and heroes of Ancient Greece through a humorous and accessible approach. The story follows Zeus, the powerful ruler of Olympus and Earth, whose legendary temper and unpredictable moods regularly disrupt life in his heavenly kingdom. His teenage children Aphrodite, Athena, Heracles and Hermes are left to deal with the consequences while navigating their own adventures and the challenges of living with Zeus as their father. Each episode begins with Zeus and the young gods facing another emotional storm, with the balance of Olympus once again at risk. From there, the characters embark on fast-paced adventures drawing on Greek mythology, with humor, heart and larger-than-life characters at the centre.

Dorian Bühr, Head of Global Distribution at Studio 100 International, said: “Few stories have shaped global culture as profoundly as Greek mythology. Chill Out, Zeus! transforms these iconic tales into a modern animated comedy-adventure filled with humor, heart, and relatable family dynamics. With its universal appeal and distinctive creative vision, it is a standout addition to our portfolio, and we’re excited to introduce this exceptional series to buyers and partners at MIPCOM 2026.”
