Cartoon Network picks up new Mega Man animated series

April 9, 2017 by Gary Collinson

Carton Network has announced that it has picked up the U.S. rights to DHX Media’s new Mega Man animated series, which is being written and executive produced by Man of Action Entertainment (Ben 10, Generator Rex).

“We are thrilled that Cartoon Network has picked up the new Mega Man series for its U.S. viewers,” said Ken Faier, executive producer at DHX Media. “This deal points to the solid demand for our original kids’ content, and highlights the strength of our strategy of collaborating with leading industry peers such as Dentsu and Man of Action to refresh evergreen properties for today’s kids. Further, we believe Mega Man’s incredible heritage and proven popularity also positions the brand extremely well for longer term consumer product opportunities.”

Aimed at kids 6 to 11, as well as their parents who grew up loving the video games, the new Mega Man animated series will feature exciting new technologies and robots, as well as the introduction of Mega Man’s alter-ego, Aki Light. Aki is a normal, upbeat, schoolboy robot who has nano-core technology that allows him to transform into the mega powered super hero Mega Man! With his Mega Buster arm cannon and iconic helmet, Mega Man battles the wickedest villains Silicon City has to offer. Beloved characters, such as Mega Man’s robotic dog, Rush, will return – while new characters, like Mega Mini and Suna Light, will make their debut!
