Hägar the Horrible Series Coming From The Jim Henson Company!

The Jim Henson Company and King Features are working together on a possible Hägar the Horrible series.

According to Deadline, the project is being written by Eric Ziobrowski and executive produced by The Jim Henson Company's Lisa Henson and Halle Stanford and King Features' C.J. Kettler.

Created by Dik Brown, Hägar the Horrible debuted as a comic strip in 1973 and follows "the hardworking Viking family led by a larger than life hero, Hägar, who can’t quite understand how the society he once understood is changing around him."

"As a burly Viking with a tough exterior, Hägar is an enormously sympathetic character who is out of step with the evolving world around him. His village’s cultural zeitgeist is changing, and he is trying to keep up," Kettler said. "The Jim Henson Company is known for their amazing storytelling and incredible digital puppetry, and we can’t wait to reimagine Hägar with them and introduce him to next generation audiences together."

"Hägar is long overdue for his own series, and this new animated family sitcom, set in the rich and hilarious world of Vikings, will continue the tradition of what we do best at The Jim Henson Company," Henson added. "Hägar is such a well-established, evergreen character and audiences immediately know and love him. Dik Browne’s comic will be a delightful and irreverent playground for our digital puppetry studio."

No word on a release date or network were announced.
