Street Football Returns for Season 5 with Major Cross-Platform Brand Push

Banijay Kids & Family, a global leader in children’s entertainment, behind hit shows such as Totally Spies! and Mr Bean: The Animated Series, today announces the return of beloved animated series Street Football for a thrilling Season 5. 20 years since the show first launched, the new season premieres 22 August on the Okoo platform, and 27 August on France 4 (France Télévisions). The return is powered by a cross-platform campaign spanning music, live fan experiences, and a new publishing venture.

To mark the launch, Street Football is teaming up with legendary French rapper Akhenaton, who produced the original theme tune, for an exclusive music single, launching 29 August. This summer, Street Football also hit the road as part of the Okoo Summer Tour, bringing live experiences and games to cities across France. The campaign continues into autumn with the debut of a dedicated magazine with Reworld Media.

Street Football has been broadcast in 28 territories. Season 4 doubled the audience record for Okoo and was the best launch for an animated series on the platform. The new 26 x 22’ series, produced by Monello Productions, with Zodiak Kids & Family France and MoBo, follows our heroes’ team, the Blues, who must face 19 other teams in the Street Football World Cup.
