At the same time, Lil Kev is just one of several animated projects in development at Fox, so there’s no telling which shows will get the green light when it comes time for the network to decide.
Fox’s entertainment president Michael Thorn didn’t say which of the projects he’s leaning towards, but indicated the network intends to ramp up its animated television programming, as the genre is considered a “staple” of what the network is all about.
And there are even more in the works.
For example, the network had also ordered a pilot presentation for a half-hour comedy series from actress Amy Poehler last summer, and while this doesn’t necessarily mean Fox has to pick between the two, it does show Lil Kev is not the only project in development with big names attached.
