Polish up that magnifying glass and get ready to solve a murder: Fox is developing an animated series based on the popular detective board game Clue, the network announced on Thursday.
“We couldn’t be more excited to develop it as an animated series along with eOne and Bento Box.”
First introduced in 1949, the Clue board game centers on a murder during a dinner party, with players solving clues to determine which of the party’s six guests committed the crime, where the crime occurred and what they used as the murder weapon.
By just hearing these colorful phrases alone, you immediately know what they mean — leaving no mystery as to why Clue is one of the most beloved board games-turned-IP of all time,” Fox entertainment president Michael Thorn said in a statement.
