County Clare, Ireland – 2025-FEB-17

Magpie 6 Media, an award-winning Irish animation studio, is thrilled to unveil its latest project, CÚ, an original animated series that reimagines Irish folklore for a new generation. With a striking visual style and gripping adventure storyline, CÚ brings Ireland’s rich mythology to
life like never before.

An Irish Legend Reborn

Set against the backdrop of ancient Ireland, CÚ follows the journey of a young protagonist who discovers a deep connection to one of Ireland’s most legendary figures, Cú Chulainn. As ancient forces awaken and secrets unravel, our hero must embrace their destiny to protect the world from looming darkness.

With stunning animation, dynamic storytelling, and deep cultural roots, CÚ is poised to be a groundbreaking addition to the global animation landscape.

A Major Milestone for Irish Animation

Magpie 6 Media has built a reputation for creating captivating animated content for children and families, working with industry giants like Disney, Warner Bros., and Cartoon Network. Now, with CÚ, the studio is taking a bold step into the tween and young
adult market, blending Irish heritage with modern storytelling techniques.

“We wanted to create something that felt uniquely Irish but had the cinematic appeal of series such as Samurai Jack and The Witcher,”

says Clifford Parrott,

“CÚ is a passion project, and we can’t wait to share it with audiences around the world.”

Support & Industry Interest

The project has already attracted attention from key industry players such as Screen Ireland who’ve provided development funding. Magpie 6 Media is actively engaging with potential broadcasters such as RTÉ, SKY Kids, and BBC-NI, as well as
Irish cultural organizations and private investors to bring CÚ to its full potential.

Join the Journey

To build excitement and raise awareness, Magpie 6 Media is launching a month long digital campaign across social media. Fans, animation lovers, and those with a passion for Irish storytelling are encouraged to follow along and engage with exclusive
behind-the-scenes content, character reveals, and interactive discussions.
