Bloomsbury signs licensing deal for The Deep

Bloomsbury Children’s is partnering with content provider Technicolor to produce a series of books based on the animated TV programme "The Deep".

From August 2018, Bloomsbury will release young fiction, official handbooks and activity titles all based on "The Deep", which is about a family of daring underwater explorers.

The deal was brokered by licensing agent CPLG, a DHX Media company.

Pam Kunick-Cohen, head of brand management, licensing and merchandising at Technicolor, said: “Bloomsbury Children’s Publishing is a global market leader, and we are excited that their passion for 'The Deep' will provide children worldwide with a diverse range of books, featuring the vivid world and characters they have grown to love.”

"The Deep" is shown in 130 countries around the world and on CBBC in the UK. It is produced by Nekton Productions.
