Following the first two successful seasons of its hit animated preschool series “ZOU” (sold in more than 150 countries around the world in over 30 languages), Cyber Group Studios is pleased to announce the third season of “ZOU” which will bring the series to a total of 156 episodes of 11’.

We aspire to become an important part of the Cyber Group Studios offering, working with Pierre and his team will be a joy.”
