Netflix not only just announced a new series based on Dr. Seuss’ beloved tale Green Eggs and Ham with Ellen DeGeneres executive producing, they made the announcement in classic Dr. Seuss style:
We’d love to share some happy news
based on the rhymes of Dr. Seuss.
Green Eggs and Ham will become a show
and you’re among the first to know.
In this richly animated production,
a 13-episode introduction,
standoffish inventor (Guy, by name)
and Sam-I-Am of worldwide fame,
embark on a cross-country trip
that tests the limits of their friendship.
As they learn to try new things,
they find out what adventure brings.
Of course they also get to eat
that famous green and tasty treat!
Cindy Holland, VP of Original Content for Netflix
threw her quote into the mix:
“We think this will be a hit
Green Eggs and Ham is a perfect fit
for our growing slate of amazing stories
available exclusively in all Netflix territories.
You can stream it on a phone.
You can stream it on your own.
You can stream it on TV.
You can stream it globally.”
Jared Stern (The LEGO Movie Sequel) is adapting Green Eggs and Ham and is involved as an executive producer. Ellen DeGeneres, Jeff Kleeman, Mike Karz and David Dobkin are also on board as executive producers for the animated family comedy.
