Netflix developing Bone animated series based on Jeff Smith's comics
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Netflix has acquired the rights to Jeff Smith's Bone comic book
series and is developing an animated series based on the
award-winning comics, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
The TV series will follow the iconic Bone cousins on an adventure
through a vast, uncharted desert and into a mysterious valley filled
with wonderful and terrifying creators.
"I've waited a long time for this. Netflix is the perfect home for
Bone. Fans of the books know that the story develops chapter by
chapter and book by book. An animated series is exactly the way to
do this! The team at Netflix understands Bone and is committed to
doing something special - this is good news for kids and cartoon
lovers all over the world," said Smith, who will oversee the
animated series.
Bone was originally published in 1991 and ran until 2004, with Smith
publishing 55 issues. The series remains one of the most celebrated
comics and has received 10 Eisner Awards in addition to 11 Harvey
Awards. Smith's Bone series, which he began working on when he was
10, is considered a pioneer in comics publishing for kids. It even
served as the launch title for Scholastic's Graphix Books in 2005.
Bone is the latest animated series joining Netflix's slate of
upcoming kid and family content. Other projects in the genre include
Green Eggs and Ham, Boss Baby, and the live-action Baby-Sitters Club.
Netflix has also secured the rights to Roald Dahl's library.
