Disney Confirms Tron Legacy TV Series in the Works

Tron TV show in the works

We reported a few days ago that Disney might be expanding its Tron Legacy universe into the small screen and now that news has been confirmed. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Disney announced an animated TV series that would follow the theatrical release of Tron Legacy, which is slated for a December 17 release.

It was said that the series would be aimed at children ages 6-14 and that this will be a 10-part micro-series, which will air on the new channel Disney XD in the fall of 2011.

"Tron is another example of how we can take advantage of the intellectual property that the studio unit pays tens, if not hundreds, of millions to develop and market," said Marsh.

Tron Legacy, directed by Joseph Kosinski, stars Garrett Hedlund, Jeff Bridges, Bruce Boxleitner, Olivia Wilde, Beau Garrett, Michael Sheen and will be released in theaters nationwide on December 17.

Tron: Legacy was released December 17th, 2010 and stars Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde, Bruce Boxleitner, James Frain, Beau Garrett, Michael Sheen, Anis Cheurfa. The film is directed by Joseph Kosinski.

I'd be better if they made a tv show aimed at teens and adults for Fox like 24. A serious TV show not a kids show.
