Posted on October 15, 2010

Deadline.com reports that Fox has picked up an animated series based on the hilarious Napoleon Dynamite movie. The original cast of Napoleon Dynamite, including Jon Heder, are returning to voice the animated series. The film's writers, including writer/director Jared Hess, are also returning. It should be good.

Update: There only ended up being six episodes of this series. The first episode, "Thundercone," had a large audience of 9.5 million viewers, but the number of viewers declined to half that by the third episode. The series had mixed reviews. You can find a list of the episodes here.
