Amy Poehler is lending her talents to Animation!
The actress is teaming back with former Parks and Recreation producer Mike Scully an untitled animated comedy coming to Fox. The network has ordered a script and pilot presentation for the project.
The potential series will center on the family and friends of 15-year-old Duncan Harris, a teen with dreams and aspirations of being a UFC fighter, tech billionaire, video game champ or any potential job that will bring a ton of income. The fun part about the series is that Poehler is attached to voice multiple characters.
This project seems perfect for Fox as it has had success in the animated space with The Simpsons, Bob’s Burgers and Family Guy. CEO Dana Walden told reporters earlier this month that the network was developing a few other animated projects this season.
“We have five or six things in development right now that I’m excited about. … It’s hard to live up to that block and those shows right now are so iconic, they’re so connected to our brand,” said the exec. “It’s hard to just slide an animated show into that lineup and have people have the same goodwill that they have for a show that’s been on for almost 30 seasons now.”
This bit of news should be exciting for all Poehler fans!
