 Calinos Entertainment has announced the sale of Alert Squad, the critically acclaimed Canadian drama produced by Pixcom, to Japan. This new deal marks a significant milestone in the global journey of the series, further expanding its reach across Asia through Calinos’ well-established international distribution network.

Produced by Pixcom, one of Canada’s largest and most respected production houses, Alert Squad centers on the high-stakes efforts of a dedicated Missing Persons Unit as they race against time to bring the missing home alive. Fusing emotional storytelling with procedural intensity, the series offers a compelling mix of human drama and police investigation that continues to engage audiences season after season.
Since its debut, Alert Squad has garnered widespread recognition, including the prestigious title of “Best Annual Series” at the 38th Prix Gémeaux Awards from the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television. Now in its fifth season, the show remains a powerful draw for viewers both in Canada and abroad.

With this latest acquisition, Calinos Entertainment reinforces its role as a global content powerhouse. As the first Turkish company to export TV series worldwide, Calinos has sold over 130,000 hours of programming to more than 120 countries. The addition of Alert Squad to its Japanese slate underscores the company’s commitment to bringing unique, quality-driven programming to audiences around the globe.

“We’re thrilled to introduce Alert Squad to Japanese viewers,” said a spokesperson for Calinos Entertainment. “This emotionally resonant, character-driven series aligns perfectly with our mission to share exceptional stories that resonate across cultures.”
