Splash Entertainment’s extensive catalog contains more than 500 hours of international and European content airing in more than 180 territories worldwide and available in many different languages. The company’s programming roster features a wide array of evergreen and holiday-themed series that resonate with audiences everywhere. Splash Entertainment’s shows have won numerous honors, including 13 Daytime Emmy Awards, 15 Parents Choice Awards, and a BAFTA Award, among many others.
Further adding to the content offerings are new shows under the CyberSplash banner, to be led by the debut project Family Rocks, a preschool series about the first modern family of the Stone Age.
