Earthworm Jim video game is becoming an animated series

Variety

Interplay Entertainment Corp., which owns the rights to the Earthworm Jim games, is developing a potential TV series. "Like the games, the series would follow the adventures of the titular Jim, a worm in a futuristic robotic suit who fights evildoers," per Variety. "The series will also bring in new characters as they navigate the galaxy, where each planet is home to a race of anthropomorphic animals. Jim’s ultimate quest is to find his true home among the stars: a near-mythical planet called Earth."
