Cannes – NHK/NHK Educational Corporation, and Al Jazeera Children’s Channel announced that their first co-production series Discover Science is gaining interest from broadcasters around the world. Already German broadcaster SWR; UR from Sweden, and EBS from Korea have come on board as co-producers since the series started calling out for partners in April; Astro will also broadcast the series in Malaysia and Brunei. Discover Science is a new science entertainment series that offers a chance to understand the theories of science by seeing it in action through ‘ridiculously’ huge experiments. The creative visualization paired with NHK’s latest shooting techniques has yielded fascinating ways to visualize scientific phenomena. Mahmoud Bouneb, executive general manager of Al Jazeera Children’s Channel (JCC) stated, “We are pleased to see the fruit of our co-production with NHK/NED being positively received by broadcasters around the world for both English and Arabic versions; we are also looking forward to more co-productions with the NHK on science, technology and environment.” Now that the 26 episodes are complete, NHK/NED/JCC are looking to expand the territories which the program will be shown. They have appointed NHK Enterprises (NEP) as their official distributor.
