Kennedy Publishing says, streaming on Netflix, Mermaid Magic is the new CGI animated show from Rainbow S.p.A., the creators of Winx Club, and follows teen mermaid Merlinda and her friends as they fight to save the magic of the ocean and their underwater world.
The brand is set to feature in two upcoming issues of Kennedy Publishing’s Love From title, added the publisher. The issues will combine the creativity focus of Love From with the adventure and friendship of the Mermaid Magic brand. Tapping into the world of Mertropia, the two upcoming issues will include colourful and engaging content driven by the characters and the world of the show.
Inside, readers will find a range of activities, including Love From’s usual craft pull-out full of colouring, recipes and crafts, and each issue will come with exclusive Mermaid Magic branded gifts, Kennedy Publishing continued.
“We’re thrilled to be working with Rainbow once again to further strengthen our partnership through the launch of Love From Mermaid Magic magazine,” says Licensing Director, Sophie Rowlands. “With its themes of adventure, friendship, empowerment (and of course, magic!), the brand is a perfect fit for our fun and creative magazine activities, offering fans an exciting new way to engage with the world of Mermaid Magic.”
“We are delighted to continue our very successful partnership with Kennedy on these enchanting Mermaid Magic publications,” said Matteo Olivetti, VP licensing sales & strategy at Rainbow. “The show is proving a huge hit, ranked #1 on Netflix Kids in 55 countries just 48 hours after its release last year. Viewers have taken the enchanting underwater world and its feisty heroines to their hearts, and appreciate its timely messages of respect for the environment and ocean conservation. We are excited to be sharing Mermaid Magic’s values with audiences in the UK in these engaging new magazines.”
The publisher says the initial issue comes with a treasure box gift set and will be on sale 21st August 2025, with the second issue to follow at a later date. It will be available at all key retailers for £6.99.
