Hulu Developing Animated “Uglydolls” Series
Just over a year ago, it was reported that Robert Rodriguez was turning the Uglydolls property into an animated feature film for STX, with a 2019 release planned at that time. It seems that project is still happening, but the property is also headed to the small screen. Deadline reports that “Uglydolls” is coming to Hulu as an animated series.
Hulu inked a deal with STX to nab the property, ordering a 26-episode series. Hulu also grabbed exclusive SVOD rights to the film, after it wraps its theatrical run.
The animated series is said to be based on the upcoming film. Last we heard, the Rodriguez-directed film is set to arrive in theaters on May 10, 2019.
Via Wikipedia, “Uglydoll is a brand based upon a line of plush toys which began as a long distance letter between the creators David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim. The Uglydoll line was launched in January 2001. Uglydolls were awarded the Specialty Toy of the Year award by the Toy Industry Association in 2006.”
Today, Prime Video announced that Emily Mortimer (Relic), Manny Jacinto (The Acolyte), and Thomasin McKenzie (Victorian Psycho, Eileen) have joined the cast of Season Three of Fallout.
The hit series begins production on its third season this month in Los Angeles.
The series based on the video games tells “the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. Two hundred years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind—and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them.“
The series stars Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets, Sweetpea), Aaron Moten (Emancipation, Father Stu), Walton Goggins (The White Lotus, The Righteous Gemstones), Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks), Moisés Arias (The King of Staten Island), Frances Turner (The Boys), Annabel O’Hagan (Rent Free), and Dave Register (FBI).
Aaron Paul (Anything But Ghosts) has also joined the cast for Season Three, as previously announced.
Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner serve as executive producers, creators, and showrunners.
