Production

My Goldfish is Evil was first presented at MIPCOM 2002 by Sardine Productions. In June 2003, CBC Television and VRAK.TV picked up the series for development.[5] In February 2004, Super Ecran and VRAK officially picked the series up, with a finalized CBC deal pending. At the time, the show was set to enter production in spring 2004, with the first season airing in September 2005.[6] Later that month, CBC officially greenlit the series.[7] Over the summer of 2005, Sardine reported that the series would begin production in October, with CBC and Télévision de Radio-Canada now attached as the sole broadcasters. The English debut was set for fall 2006 and a French one in January 2007.[8] The series was officially renewed for a second season by both channels in April 2006.[9]

International syndication rights to the series were initially awarded to S.K.A. Distribution in July 2004, a newly formed co-venture between Sardine Productions, Kutoka Interactive and Avanti Ciné Vidéo.[10] Distribution, alongside licensing, merchandise and home video rights were given to PorchLight Entertainment in April 2006.[11] In 2012, Cyber Group Studios acquired the rights in the TV series, which they now distribute.[12]
