Zodiak Kids and Sprout announced the launch of Kody Kapow, the newest addition to Sprout’s increasing portfolio of original series. Kody Kapow, produced by Zodiak Kids Studios, is slated to debut in early 2017 and builds upon the network’s emphasis on delivering high quality original content to families.

Kody Kapow is about an aspiring martial arts–style superhero named Kody who spends the summer with his extended family in a small village in China.

“We’ve landed the perfect partnership between Sprout, Arc Productions, and Zodiak Kids to produce a truly engaging series for children everywhere”, said Michael Carrington, CEO of Zodiak Kids Studios. “The unique setting and playful characters in Kody Kapow offers endless possibilities for great adventures; girls and boys will love the sense of humour and enthusiasm of our hero Kody.”

Zodiak Kids will own worldwide (excluding US) distribution rights to Kody Kapow.
