Annoying Orange goes from Web to TV
Web series The Annoying Orange is being turned into a TV series to be aired on Cartoon Network
The half hour show will premiere in 2012 as part of Cartoon Network's original programming block.
We follow the main character Orange and his produce pals as they travel through time in a
magical fruit cart. The show will stay true to the weekly Annoying Orange web episodes, which have racked up more than 850 million total views on its dedicated YouTube channel as of September.
The brand’s official website
and YouTube channel, for instance, will serve as promotional platforms
for the TV series by featuring separate short-form original content.
TV is the latest brand extension for the property. A line of apparel
and accessories debuted last month at JC Penney across the US, and a toy line from
master toy partner The Bridge Direct, which features a collection of
talking plush, clip-ons and collectible figures, will hit specialty
retailers in time for the holidays. Meanwhile, The Annoying Orange: Kitchen Carnage app has launched on the iPhone and Android.
