Hey guys, TexasBornMind76 here, and I know this isn't a story. It's actually news I wanna share for everyone in case they aren't aware of what happened.

So less than a week ago, news website Variety announces that DreamWorks Animation Television and Netflix are officially producing a TV series based on the famous father-son duo. As part of a deal to produce 300 hours of original programming for the streaming service, DreamWorks Animation has produced 'The New Mr. Peabody and Sherman Show'.

Plans of production have existed since August of last year after 'Mr. Peabody and Sherman', while an extremely fantastic film, became a box office failure for DreamWorks, and resulted in a $57 million writedown for the company. No information was released for the series, no episode names, no confirmed characters, no plots, no channel, nothing. All that was revealed by The Animation Guild I.A.T.S.E. Local 839, a surprising total of 78 episodes have been ordered for production. The only confirmation of the show's existence was a Tweet from Mr. Peabody and Sherman director, Rob Minkoff, after responding to a Tweet from a fan about a possible sequel to the film, he mentioned a TV series for Netflix, even though the channel was unconfirmed.

One year later...

New details of the show were surfaced so I'm here to say what they are for now...

Classic or Modern?

Since rumors of the show started floating around, fans speculated whether it was born a be based on the classic 'Peabody's Improbable History' shorts shown in 'The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show from the 1960's or the modern age movie. While some fans might prefer the classic Peabody and Sherman (Example: Ellis97... actually that's pretty much it), fans still prefer the modern Peabody and Sherman (Example: Me, Shinigamilover2, Camilapia, etc.). So, the show will be a combination of both interpretations. The classic elements are the animation and designs of the characters, while modern elements include the character models (not designs) and the heartwarming father-son relationship, as opposed to the master-pet relationship of yesteryear. (There's nothing wrong with the classic series at all. But if that element was used in the new interpretation, people might get the wrong idea and think it's a symbol of slavery. It might have been funny back then, but it might not be funny now)

Animation?

Despite most of the programs DreamWorks Animation Television has produced for Netflix has been 3D computer-generated animation (All Hail King Julien, The Adventures of Puss in Boots, Dragons: Race to the Edge), the series will be animated with hand drawn 2D animation. Only one series DreamWorks produces has been animated in 2D (Turbo F.A.S.T.)

The animation studio who will animate the show will be DHX Media, responsible for producing too many shows to even count.

The characters have also been redesigned again which are similar to the 2014 designs from the movie, but animated to look like the classic series a bit. No differences are shown for Mr. Peabody, but Sherman has some slight changes. He now has freckles on his cheeks which aren't present in both incarnations, Sherman's hair has been shortened to look smaller and a bit streamlined. He will still have the same cowlick style, just a bit tweeked, also he now has green sleeves on his white shirt.

Cast and Characters?

So far the only two character confirmed are obviously Mr. Peabody and Sherman. No historical figures have been confirmed to appear, nor have any characters from the new movie have been confirmed either.

So that means Penny might no longer appear as long as she's not confirmed to appear, although she has yet to be confirmed.

Also as for the voice actors, Max Charles, who played Sherman in the film will reprise his role as Sherman. So there's good news there.

However, Ty Burrell will have to be replaced. There's probably a ton of reasons why Burrell isn't reprising his role, but probably the biggest reason is that he and Ariel Winter (The actress who played Penny in the film) will both be busy as their onscreen Father-daughter relationship in ABC's critically acclaimed sitcom, 'Modern Family'. (Yes. Penny is Mr. Peabody's daughter in Modern Family. That shouldn't weird people out right?)

Anyways, the actor who will replace Ty Burrell is going to be Chris Parnell. Apparently he's from shows like 30 Rock and Saturday Night Live, but he's also from my favorite late night Adult Swim show, Rick and Morty. But I heard his voice and it doesn't seem to fit Mr. Peabody. (But that might change once I see the show)

Release?

You wont have to wait for a long time for the show's release, because 'The New Mr. Peabody and Sherman Show' premieres it's first season consisting of 13 of the 78 ordered episodes on October 9th 2015 only on Netflix.

So are you all excited for this new series to premiere? Can't wait to see what adventures the two time traveling duo might encounter?

Leave a review below to voice your opinions on this awesome news.

And once more information surfaces soon, I will be on the lookout for it to inform you right away.

And who knows, if this show proves to be successful, it might convince, DreamWorks to make a sequel to the movie. Only one can hope.

So that's it for now! See you guys next time!
