Central Park (Apple TV Series)

Post by Sotiris »

Apple has picked up its first animated comedy series. The tech giant has handed out a straight-to-series, two-season order for Central Park, an animated musical comedy from Bob's Burgers creator Loren Bouchard, the show's Emmy winner Nora Smith and Josh Gad (Frozen).

The series tells the story of how a family of caretakers, who live and work in Central Park, end up saving the park — and basically the world. The project features a star-studded voice cast that includes Gad, Leslie Odom Jr. (Hamilton), Titus Burgess (Netflix's Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), Kristen Bell (The Good Place), Stanley Tucci (Feud), Daveed Diggs (Hamilton, Snowpiercer) and Kathryn Hahn (Amazon's I Love Dick). The order is for 13 episodes per season (26 total).

Bouchard and Gad will pen the script and executive produce; Smith will serve as a consultant. Kevin Larsen, who was instrumental in putting the project together, will produce. Brillstein Entertainment Partners will also exec produce. The series hails from 20th Century Fox Television, which produces animated hits Bob's Burgers, The Simpsons, Family Guy and American Dad, among others.

Central Park was developed at 20th TV — home of such animated series as The Simpsons, Family Guy, Bob Burgers, King of the Hill and American Dad — where Bouchard is based. It was originally eyed for Fox, which has been looking up to ramp up its animated offerings, recently ordering Lil Kev animated pilot presentation based on the comedy of Kevin Hart. After Fox ultimately passed on Central Park, 20th TV took the project out, sparking a heated bidding war among Apple, Netflix and Hulu.

Sounds nice, but it's on a random service which means I'll never see it anyway. Ho-hum.
