The scripted division of Harry King Television is developing a new animated television series as part of its upcoming True Sherlock franchise, based on Nicholas Sercombe’s original book series The Unexpurgated Adventures of Sherlock Holmes but distinctly different from the live action format.
Leading the creative team with Sercombe is David Lipman, the producer behind the first two installments of the Shrek franchise. Joining Sercombe and Lipman are Michael Ryan (Planet 51, Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank) and Tim John (A Street Cat Named Bob).
Animated Sherlock (wt) takes Sercombe’s behind-the-scenes premise one step further by crafting the tone for an adult audience. Each season explores a main plot of whodunnit mystery, and the episodes relate to an original Sherlock Holmes story in Arthur Conan Doyle’s universe. As in True Sherlock the series will delve into the origins of Holmes, Watson, Mrs Hudson and Moriarty.
