It doesn’t have a title yet, but that’s not stopping Cartoon Network from talking about their new pickup. The network and Nick Cannon are in business on a live-action, half hour sketch comedy show for kids. Per the press release, the series will be all about “raw mischief, high energy and slapstick humor.”

UPDATE: The series is titled Incredible Crew.

Among the young actors featured on the series are Jeremy Shada (Adventure Time), Shameik Moore (Joyful Noise), Brandon Soo Hoo (Enders Game), Shauna Case (American Horror Story) and Chanelle Peloso (Level Up).

“Nick Cannon has created a contemporary take on sketch comedy that will launch the next generation of Cartoon Network stars,” stated Rob Sorcher, chief content officer for Cartoon Network, announcing the series.

“Cartoon Network is the absolute best home for this series and I am thrilled to be working with them. As someone who was given an opportunity in this business at a very young age, I am always looking for ways to help shine the spotlight on up and coming young comedic talent and this show is the perfect platform for these future stars,” said series creator and executive producer Nick Cannon.
