Milo is a preschool animated series conceived as an IP with cross-format commercial potential across TV, digital products, licensing and consumer goods. Commissioned in 2021 by Channel 5’s Milkshake! and born in 2021, the series premiered in Spain on Clan (RTVE) in May 2022 and debuted on PBS Kids in the U.S. in autumn 2024. The show has been dubbed into more than 20 languages, distributed in over 170 countries and is present on more than 45 television channels and platforms. The company is expanding beyond audiovisual content into apps, videogames, licensing, consumer products and experiences, and the third season is already in production. Production of the audiovisual content is carried out entirely in Spain, which the project cites as a means to strengthen the local industry and create qualified employment. Funding and the new corporate structure are intended to accelerate international exploitation and long-term scalable development of the Milo IP.
