MTG orders Animal Antics

MTG has ordered fact-ent series Animal Antics for its Viasat Nature channel.

UK indie Woodcut Media will make the 13x30mins series, with Factory Media handling global distribution and launching it internationally at MIPTV.

The series will capture crazy animal behaviour, with comedians, vloggers and wildlife experts counting down their favourite clips.

“This is a fun, light-hearted series that will appeal to a global audience,” said Kate Beal, CEO, Woodcut. “Unlike humans, animals are often unpredictable in their behaviour, which has resulted in some of the funniest creature escapades to be caught on camera.”

The series, which is being made by former Rude Tube producer Nick Mavroidakis, delivers next month.
