ZDF Studios brings wedotv on board as a new partner for its Pash streaming brand
Mainz, 17 March 2026
ZDF Studios has signed a new agreement with wedotv (Video Solutions AG). As part of the agreement, wedotv will now serve as the pay‑TV partner of Pash, a previously digital‑only on‑demand service for children and families.
Pash offers a portfolio of more than 500 hours of high‑quality animation and live‑action series, featuring internationally successful programmes from renowned broadcasters and production partners. The brand follows clear editorial principles and reflects the values of ZDF and Germany’s public‑service children’s television, especially KiKA. An experienced team of specialists curates the programming, ensuring it meets strict quality standards.
Thanks to the new agreement, Pash will make its pay‑TV debut, after previously being available solely as a VoD service. Pash will launch in localised versions in Hungary, the Czech Republic and Poland, and will also be available in English across the Middle East, Northern Asia and Southeast Asia.
Among the highlights are the KiKA brand “Dibidoo”, “The Muscleteers”, the multi‑award‑winning sci‑fi series “Space Nova”, “H2O – Mermaid Adventures”, and children’s classics including “Lassie”, “Peter Pan” and “The Jungle Book”.
Pash is already streaming on numerous platforms across more than twelve European countries, as well as in North and South America. Its distribution partners include Amazon Prime Video (Germany, the UK, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, France and Poland), YouTube, and a range of local platforms and telcos. The brand is further supported by audience‑targeted content strategies on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and Facebook.
Jan‑Frederik Maul, Director Junior at ZDF Studios, on the agreement: “With wedotv, we gain a strong partner who shares our vision for responsible, high‑quality children’s programming. Expanding Pash into additional regions and into the pay‑TV segment is an important step, ensuring that even more families around the world can access our content.”
Philipp Rotermund, founder and CEO of wedotv, adds: “Pash is an ideal addition to our portfolio: high‑quality, trustworthy and internationally successful children’s series, carefully curated and backed by clear quality standards. We are delighted to bring this content to new territories together with ZDF Studios and to continue expanding our audience base.”
