Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) has acquired the fifth season of YouTube animated kids' series Booba in a deal with production and distribution company Kedoo Entertainment.

WBD will debut the latest 26×7' season on HBO Max worldwide, excluding the US. It is already available in Latin America, with plans to premiere in Asia Pacific in November and across EMEA markets in December.

Season five of Booba is also in its premiere run on WBD's Cartoonito channel in Latin America and will air later this year on Discovery Kids and POGO in India.

Produced by Kedoo's in-house animation studio 3D Sparrow, Booba began life as a YouTube series in 2014 and has since amassed over 22 billion views and 20 million subscribers.

The non-dialogue show, aimed at children aged two-eight and their families, follows the titular character as he explores the curiosities around him and finds adventure in his everyday surroundings.

Booba is also available on Netflix and on channels and platforms in 45 countries including ITVX in the UK and Nine Network in Australia.
