According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Disney Channel has greenlit the firsts animated series since 2007. FISH HOOKS places the typical high-school hijinks in a giant fish tank in a pet store. The series revolves around three fish; Milo, Oscar, and Bea and their lives at Freshwater High.
“The ‘Fish Hooks’ team has created one of the most original, inventive animated series on television, bringing an ingenious twist to the classic archetypes of high school life,” said Gary Marsh, president entertainment at Disney Channels Worldwide. “Where else but in the world of a high school fish tank would you find characters named Piranica, Clamantha or Jocktopus?”
This new Disney Channel show was created by children’s book illustrator Noah Z. Jones, and adapted for TV by Bill Reiss of CHOWDER, Adam Burton of THE GRIM ADVENTURES OF BILLY & MANDY, and Alex Hirsch of THE MARVELOUS MISADVENTURES OF FLAPJACK. FISH HOOKS is slated to premiere in the fall of 2010.
