Claire’s, in collaboration with Sony Pictures Television – Kids (SPT – Kids), is embarking on the creation of a new global youth series. This strategic alliance, facilitated through Claire’s exclusive production studio, CMedia, signifies Claire’s evolution into a brand lifestyle and cultural force through a series of entertainment content initiatives.

The collaboration aims to build upon Claire’s existing global platform, encompassing more than 2,750 stores and franchised locations worldwide, an original metaverse experience, over 18 million loyalty members, and a robust e-commerce platform.

This connection, combined with Sony Pictures Television, a true leader in the industry and expert in the space, will integrate Claire’s branded programming into the lives of the most pivotal generations of today. In our ongoing dialogue with Gen Zalpha, they have told us they would love to see more content from us, and I am thrilled that we can partner with Sony Pictures Television to create this series to deepen our engagement and express the power of our brand in unique, new ways. We will partner to not only produce highly original programming and IP, but also amplify the brand’s global resonance and expand our consumer interaction through content that is socially immersive and shoppable entertainment.”
