A world-first anime comedy series to be especially created for a 6-10 audience, the tales of the two brothers Ki (10) and Hi (6) have been adapted by Mediawan Kids & Family label Method Animation (The Three Musketeers, The Little Prince and Friends, Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir, Robin Hood: Mischief in Sherwood) with Drawsome Studios and Belvision. As Co-Producer and Showrunner, Tran has been regularly updating the characters’ journey to screen to his 5.6 million followers building up a huge anticipation and expectant fanbase for the show. The 52 x 11’ series will debut first on Canal+ in fall 2025.

Ki&Hi in the Panda Kingdom follows the siblings as they constantly fight, argue, and plot against each other! But deep down, they love each other because they're brothers - they’re family. Could it be that between these endlessly bickering kids, there's a brotherly bond stronger than any other? This charming tale explores the full range of sibling dynamics: blackmail, fights, disputes, but also love, connection, and complicity in the fantasy setting of the Panda Kingdom.
