N1ckola

N1ckola is a Polish webseries based on the Lonelygirl15 Universe. It was produced by EQAL, Agora SA, and A2 Multimedia and began in 2009.^[1][2][3] According to Greg Goodfried and Miles Beckett of EQAL, the show "blends reality, documentary, and fiction. It was always our hope to expand the LG15 Universe into new countries through full-format licensing deals like this one with Agora. N1ckola is the perfect example of a business model we'd like to replicate in the future in even more countries."^[4]

N1ckola debuted on its own network, N1ckola.pl, on January 26, 2009, with show sponsors including Microsoft and Hasbro.^[5] Its first season lasted for one hundred videos, and ended with the video "Landsteiner" on June 30, 2009. It has been announced that a second season will take place, but it is not known when yet.^[6] Season 1 was repackaged into longer episodes and appeared on Polish television in the summer of 2009.^[7]

N1ckola was the fourth show in EQAL's popular LG15 Franchise, and also EQAL's first business venture in a language other than English.^[8]
