FOX has ordered a pilot presentation for Thomas Lennon’s (Reno 911) The Post Guard animated comedy with Bento Box producing along with Peter Principato and FOX Entertainment. Thomas Lennon is writing and executive producing the presentation.
According to Variety which broke the story, the series is described as a workplace adventure comedy following the rag tag crew of humans, turtles, seals and mermaids at the secretive, and often overlooked mashup of the Coast Guard and Post Office, as they scour the high seas to find and deliver messages in bottles, while settling who among them is in charge of the ship’s menial tasks, like resetting the WiFi.
FOX continues to stay busy with both pickups and developments of animated comedies for not one but TWO Animation Domination lineups. While the proper Animation Domination returns with new episodes on September 26th for FOX, the network has deployed a Monday night lineup for this summer featuring the likes of Duncanville and Housebroken with the former already renewed for an additional season and the latter looking likely.
