THE SIMPSONS Animators & WWE Studios Team Up to Produce Adult Comedy Web Series
According to Variety, WWE Studios and Film Roman are teaming up to finance and produce "Camp WWE," a comedy web series aimed at adults that will feature WWE wrestlers as kids.
Up to 13 three-minute installments of the online show will be produced and distributed across WWE's digital platforms.
"Entourage" and "The Bernie Mac Show" writer Mike Benson will pen the series.
"With a combination of their unique personalities, distinctive characteristics and huge built-in loyal fan base, WWE Superstars make for ideal animation subjects in 'Camp WWE,'" said Dana Booton, general manager for Film Roman, the studio that produced the animation for "The Simpsons" and "King of the Hill."
"In the show, parents of the WWE stars pack up their kids, their masks, chains and kneepads and send them off to Camp WWE to be transformed into model citizens by the most terrifying counselor who ever lived, Mr. McMahon, after they prove to be a nightmare for teachers and other kids."
"Film Roman has been involved with some of the most well-known and humorous animated series," said Michael Luisi, president WWE Studios. "They are the perfect partners for WWE Studios to Capture our Superstars in a truly unique and fun way."
