Following strong worldwide sales of its first season, TV-Loonland and French broadcaster Gulli TV have commissioned a further two new seasons of animated comedy Raymond.

Produced by Paris-based production company Everybody on Deck, a further 52 episodes will now be made of the show.

The series continues to attract broadcaster interest worldwide. Most recent sign ups include Cartoon Network Japan, Sweden's number one commercial broadcaster TV4 and International Francophone Channel TV5 Monde scooping up rights for airing in Europe, North Africa, the Orient, Asia, US, Latin America and the Caribbean.

"We are thrilled to support Everybody On Deck in this new venture with the commissioning of not only one, but two, new seasons of Raymond," said Olivier Dumont, MD of TV-Loonland. "With a greater number of episodes we expect sales to grow even more strongly, as broadcasters can rely on a steady stream of episodes to fuel strong ratings."
