March 31, 2025

Rainbow, the independent Italian entertainment group led by Iginio Straffi, has announced that its new action series Gormiti – The New Era (20×22’) will make its UK debut on CBBC and iPlayer this spring.

The popular adventure franchise Gormiti has been reinvented into a high-octane, live-action series, Gormit – The New Era, with CGI effects, a super-talented cast and thrilling storylines.  It follows the adventures of four young heroes from Earth who are called to save the fantasy realm of Gorm – and Earth itself – from war and destruction. The series has been produced with Giochi Preziosi, who created the original intellectual property in 2005, distributing it to over 50 countries worldwide. The series has already enjoyed successful launches in Spain on Clan, in France on Gulli, in Italy on Rai 2, Rai Gulp and Rai Play, and in Greece on Nickelodeon.

Iginio Straffi, Rainbow founder and CEO, said: “This landmark new series embodies everything that Rainbow does best – with strong, relatable characters, high-quality production values, great storytelling and universally-appealing themes. I couldn’t be more delighted that we’ve partnered with such a top-quality broadcaster as the BBC to bring it to CBBC and iPlayer for the UK’s children to enjoy. We look forward to seeing the title thrive in this important market.”

Sarah Muller, Senior Head of Commissioning BBC Children’s and Education, said: “Audiences will love the UK premiere of Gormiti – The New Era, with exhilarating storylines, a brilliant young cast and great visual effects it’s a brilliant addition to our offer on iPlayer”.
