'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs' being developed as a TV series
DHX Media, who are producing the Paddington film and developing the rebooted TV series of Inspector Gadget, are now working with Sony Animation to create a Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs TV series.
It's expected the series will consist of CG-animated episodes lasting 22 minutes that will follow the basic concept of the previous two movies. It was also mentioned that a possible re-imaging of the film series is a possibility for the TV show.
DXH Media president and COO Steven DeNure said in a statement;
"Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs has a tremendous legacy as beloved children’s books and a duo of highly popular feature films, showing how great ideas can succeed across media. We believe audiences both old and new are going to love this fiercely funny franchise re-imagined for the small screen."
The first development order is for 26 episodes, which will give DHX a lot space to develop stories, characters and possibly introduce other characters, too.
