Kevin Smith is working on an animated Green Hornet series
The show 💎will bring a new Green Hornet and Kato to a younger audience

Clerks creator Kevin Smith is reportedly working on a new animated series centring on classic vigilante duo 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Green Hornet and Kato.
Having begun life as a 1930s radio show, the hero was adapted to TV screens in 1966, with Bruce Lee famously playing Kato – his break-out Hollywood role. Now though, following the forgettable 2ꦑ011 reboot starring Seth Rogan, Smith looks to bring the Hornet back and refreshed for a new audience, reports.
The director will be revving up the Black Beauty once more and working on an animated series with WildBrain, a production company known for such properties as Peanuts and the Teletubbies – so don’t be expecting anything more than a PG hero. His version is set to take place in present-day and star a new Green Hornet and Kato that are the son and daughter of the ൲original characters.
"It’s an honour to escort the legendary Green Hornet and Kato into their very own animated series for the first time in the rich history of these ico♈🥂nic pop culture characters," Smith said of the announcement. "We’ll be telling a tale of two Hornets – past and future – that spans generations and draws inspiration from a lifetime spent watching classic cartoons and amazing animation like Batman: The Animated Series, Heavy Metal, and Super Friends.
I can’t believe WildBrain gave me ꦿthis job and I can’t thank them enough for the opportunity to extend my childhood a little longer."
Having originally written a big-🔴screen Green Hornet adaptation – b𒁃efore his script was instead turned into a comic book series – there’s no doubt that Smith knows the characters well. The director will certainly bring a palpable excitement and love for the genre to young audiences.
