Production of 13 more episodes of the much-loved animated series is already under way in languages as diverse as English, French, Spanish, Bahasa Malay, Mandarin, Portuguese and Tagalog.
Currently Supa Strikas is rated among the top three most popular youth programs on both SABC and Disney South East Asia and is aired in 35 countries around the world, from France to Azerbaijan.
Like the print version, the television series tells the story of the world's most loved soccer team. "It follows the adventures of a team of talented young players as they strive to become the best soccer team in the world," explains the show's director, Bruce Legg. Along the way the team travels to mysterious countries, meets extraordinary characters and, most importantly, must play the best football of their lives to make their Super League dreams a reality.
New episodes can be expected to air in June of next year and pre-sales have already been made with Disney, Nickelodeon and other channels. "It's even more exciting than our last season. The writers, story boarders and animators have really taken it to the next level. I think we're producing one of the best animated shows in the world at the moment," concludes Legg.
