Jim Henson Company Developing "Paul The Bear" Kids Show!

The Jim Henson Company, is partnering on a new kids series Paul The Bear with Summer Camp Island creator Julia Pott and former Disney Star Raviv Ullman.

The live-action series about a recently retired brown bear getting in touch with himself and his English seaside community and will include a cast of real people and puppet animals. While Paul himself will be nonverbal.

Pott, an animator and illustrator, and Ullman, best known for playing Phil Diffy, on Disney’s Phil of the Future created and will run the series.

The Jim Henson Company's Lisa Henson and Halle Stanford will serve as executive producers along with Pott and Ullman. 

The logline for the series reads: “Paul T. Bear is newly retired, having spent most of his life out at sea working as a long-haul fisherman, sharing his space with bears at all hours of the day and night. He’s excited to finally be on his own — painting still lives of his favorite household items, attending plays, and volunteering at the library. But not all things come easy in new places and Paul will have to expend some effort to find a well-balanced life.”
