Netflix has given a 40-episode series order for the animated series, Angry Birds: Summer Madness, based on the popular video game characters. Each episode of the series, which is set to launch at some point in 2021, will last 11 minutes and take comedic and tonal inspiration from The Angry Birds film franchise.
Development on the series has been ongoing since Oct. 2018. The show will center around the birds Red, Bomb and Chuck plus a cast of brand new characters.
“Angry Birds have been a true phenomenon for kids around the world and we’re excited to bring them home to the nest at Netflix where they will be angrier and bird-ier than ever,” said Curtis Lelash, director of original animated series at Netflix.
“Angry Birds animated content plays a key role in our long-term franchise strategy. After more than a decade in hit games, blockbuster movies and licensed products, this is the Angry Birds’ first foray into a long-form series. We’re delighted to continue our partnership with Cake and can’t wait to unveil the world of ‘Angry Birds: Summer Madness’ to viewers on Netflix,” said Rovio CMO Ville Heijari.
