Aasif Mandvi’s “Halal in the Family” To Be Adapted as an Animated Series

The former Daily Show correspondent could have a show that’s FOX-worthy.

In a recent feature done by New York Times, Aasif Mandvi (Daily Show) noted that he is working on an animated series adaptation of his live-action web series Halal in the Family. 

Today, the live-action version of Halal in the Family is a satirical view as to what it’s like being a Muslim living in America ala a sitcom parody similar to some of the stuff that ABC is doing with franchises like Speechless (being handicapped in America), Black-ish (being black in America), and The Goldbergs (being Jewish in the 90s in America).

An animated series adaptation sounds like a super-good idea, something to the ilk of say The Simpsons but a Muslim take on the franchise I think would be a lot of fun. Your thoughts?
