King Features and The Jim Henson Company are developing an animated series based on Hägar the Horrible.

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.” In 1989, the property was adapted into a TV special called Hägar the Horrible: Hägar Knows Best from Hanna-Barbera, and a live-action film was being planned by Sony Pictures in the early 2010s.

“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.”
