Kung Fu Panda: The TV Series

Nickelodeon has developed a 26-episode animated series based on the 2008 box office hit Kung Fu Panda.

Kung Fu Panda: The Series will follow the new adventures of Po, the frisky martial arts panda who starred in the film, which featured the voices of Jack Black and Angelina Jolie.

The network is pleased to reveal that the small screen series will use the same computer generated animation used in the big screen original.

“We are thrilled to extend our ongoing collaboration with Nickelodeon, whose creative expertise in producing hit TV series is second to none,” said Ann Daly, chief operating officer of DreamWorks Animation. “The characters and worlds we originally created for ‘Kung Fu Panda’ are particularly well-suited to be further developed and explored in new and exciting ways.”

The show is scheduled to premiere in 2010.
