‘Underdog’ CG Series Reboot Begins Production at Superprod Animation, Red Monk Studio (EXCLUSIVE)
France's Superprod Animation and Italy's Red Monk Studio have begun production on their 'Underdog' animated series remake for M6, Gulli and RAI.
Superprod and Red Monk will produce 52 11-minute episodes of the new series, which will be aimed at kids and family audiences and follow the crimefighting antics of Underdog, a clumsy but well-meaning superhero in an oversized suit and cape. The “Underdog” reboot was developed for TV with feature animation vets Matt Smith (“The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants, The Croods”) and Shane Morris (“Frozen,” “Wreck-it-Ralph”), who will serve as story editors for the show. For his part, Gulli President Philippe Bony added, “We are delighted with this new collaboration with Superprod and Charles Vaucelle, with whom we already worked on ‘Dogmatix’ and the ‘Indomitables.’ Tender, awkward but brave, Underdog is the kind of hero we love.”
