This year, Barcelona-based DeAPlaneta Entertainment is marking its milestone 25th anniversary since launching through Grupo Planeta and De Agostini. To commemorate the event, DeAPlaneta Entertainment launched a new logo that will accompany the productions and new releases for 2025.
In the last quarter century, the company has seen success with its distribution business — handling Oscar-winning films like The Pianist, The King’s Speech and 12 Years a Slave and box-office hits including Saw, The Invisible Guardian and Girl on the Train — as well as production efforts including the animated kids’ hit Milo, and more recently in the universe of gaming and immersive content with IP like Magic Lilly.
In recent months, DeAPlaneta has enjoyed the success of its distribution titles Longlegs and Conclave, which won the Golden Globe for best screenplay. Upcoming titles on its slate include Nuremberg, starring Russell Crowe and Rami Balek; How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies (shortlisted for the International Film Oscar); Jason Statham thriller Mutiny and The Physician 2 starring Tom Payne.
2025 will also see the release of DeAPlaneta-produced series Love You to Death, joining previous popular offerings such as etective Touré and What Are You Waiting For?and family comedy movie Who Is Who?
DeAPlaneta Entertainment’s 25th anniversary will coincide with the half-century commemoration of the creation of Maya the Bee, an animation classic owned by DeAPlaneta Kids & Family, which will be celebrated with a series of special actions and events for its fans.
The company’s kids and family content branch will also begin production of new series, such as Magic Lilly and Karters, and the third season of Milo, a global phenomenon among preschool audiences that debuted in the United States on PBS Kids in 2024, adding new fans to an audience that spans more than 170 countries on four different continents. Also making an impression is U.S. brand WonderPals, whose relaunch by DeAPlaneta Interactive has established it as one of Web3’s most recognizable brands.
This global reach attests to the performance of DeAPlaneta Kids & Family’s international offices in Italy, France, Germany and CEE, managing successful IPs such as Miraculous Ladybug, Gormiti, David the Gnome, Heidi, The Smurfs, Care Bears and Unicorn Academy in a multitude of territories.
“2025 will give us the opportunity to look back and review the path that DeAPlaneta Entertainment has traveled for a quarter of a century hand in hand with the public,” said Ignacio Segura de Lassaletta, CEO of DeAPlaneta Entertainment. “If today we have their trust, as well as the respect of the entire entertainment sector, it is because we have been faithful to the purpose of offering a diverse, innovative and carefully curated catalog, always with the viewers as our priority. But this is not a nostalgic occasion: we will celebrate both the milestones we have achieved and those that promise a very promising future for our company.”
DeAPlaneta is planning an anniversary for the spring, gathering the company’s clients and collaborators to celebrate in the heart of Madrid. Details will be announced at a later date.
