EVA LONGORIA SET TO STAR IN NEW ANIMATED SERIES ‘MOTHER UP! COMING FALL 2013

BIG news for Canadian TV and maybe US internet channel Hulu, Desperate Housewives alum Eva Longoria is set to star in a new prime time animated series called Mother Up! set to air Fall 2013 on both City (CAN) and Hulu for at least 13 episodes. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Family Guy writer Michael Shipley is the man behind the series and is “using original material from Marnie Nir and Katie Torpey. Former Sony Pictures topper Yair Landau and Susan Purcellat U.S.-based Mass Animation also helped develop the project. As Bardel Animation and Breakthrough Entertainment were picked as the Canadian co-producers of Mother Up!, Toronto-based executive producer Fred Fuchs (Transporter) successfully shopped the Canadian-written, produced and voiced project to City.”

The show (formerly known as Child Support) is going to be ran by Crash Canyon runner Greg Lawrence, that series is set to air its second season this Sunday Night.  Rounding out the voice cast with Longoria playing the misguided mother ‘Rudi Wilson'(formerly known as Marley Wiener) is  Jesse Camacho as the voice of Dick, Gabrielle Miller as Sarah, Cle Bennett as 2Bit, Helen Taylor as Jenny, Rebecca Husain as Apple and Scott McCord as Greg. The show, like Canyon, is being entirely produced in Canada with writers like Mark McKinney, Laurie Elliott, Laura Kosterski and Jenn Engels all at the helm for the series run. As mentioned the show is set to air Fall 2013, on City in Canada but also on Hulu, but of course that has us wondering Hulu U.S. or just Hulu customers in Canada?? Not sure how that works, but if we hear anything we will let  you know as we will be watching this one closely.
