TV Azteca and zeptolab partner to broadcast "Om Nom Stories" in Mexico. The global gaming and animation company has inked a new agreement with the Mexican broadcaster to bring the hit dialogue-free animated series to Azteca 7's programming lineup starting in the summer of 2026. "Om Nom Stories" ZeptoLab is expanding its international footprint through a fresh alliance with TV Azteca, one of Mexico's prominent television networks. This collaboration will reintroduce the popular animated show "Om Nom Stories" to Mexican audiences on Azteca 7 beginning this summer. Centering on Om Nom, the globally recognized green creature, the 2D animated production delivers slapstick comedy without the need for dialogue. Its reliance on visual gags ensures that the humor is universally relatable, making it an ideal family-friendly option that transcends age groups and language barriers. This broadcast launch coincides with the 15th anniversary of Om Nom's original debut. ZeptoLab continues to grow the franchise via new distribution agreements worldwide, solidifying the character's enduring presence across both traditional linear television and digital platforms around the globe. Originally introduced to audiences on YouTube, "Om Nom Stories" has grown into a multi-season property that is now available on major streaming services and broadcasters worldwide. ZeptoLab, the multifaceted company behind the series, is also widely recognized for its successful video game titles, including "Cut the Rope", "King of Thieves", "C.A.T.S.: Crash Arena Turbo Stars", and "Bullet Echo".
