Deadline is reporting that Ryan Reynolds and his company, Maximum Effort, Fubo, and the Nacelle company have teamed together to produce Nacelle’s Biker Mice from Mars animated series.
“Some people know that I am a motorcycle enthusiast, so it was only natural for us to jump on board Biker Mice from Mars,” said Reynolds. “Maximum Effort and Fubo look forward to putting a new spin on this cult classic with our friends at Nacelle.”
This new animated series will be a take on the cult classic series that aired its final episode 27 tears ago. The series was originally created by Rick Ungar, with Nacelle Company obtaining the rights to the Biker Mice from Mars property and came out with a new toy line featuring the characters earlier this year. The series pilot will be directed by Brian Volk-Weiss, who also serves as executive producer alongside Cisco Henson, Matt Kravitsky, and Michael Goodman, for Nacelle Company. Maximum Effort’s George Dewey, Kevin Hill, Patrick Gooing, and Ryan Reynolds will serve as executive producers alongside Fubo’s David Gandler and Pamela Duckworth.
The Biker Mice From Mars story: on the planet Mars, there existed a race of anthropomorphic mice who enjoyed motorsports and had a very similar culture and society to that of human beings. Eventually, they were all but wiped out by the Plutarkians, an alien race of obese, foul-smelling, worm-eating, fish-like humanoids who plunder other planets for their natural resources.
Three survivors: Throttle, Modo, and Vinnie, manage to find a spaceship and escape the Plutarkian takeover. They soon find themselves crash-landing on Earth in Chicago. Along with a charming female mechanic named Charlene “Charley” Davidson, the Biker Mice must defend Earth and defeat the villainous Plutarkians in an attempt to finally return to their homeland of Mars.
The show’s premiere date is to be announced.
Biker Mice From Mars will be the first animated series on the Maximum Effort Channel. The channel is available to watch on Fubo as well as Amazon Freevee, LG Channels, Plex, Sling Freestream, Tubi, VIDAA, VIZIO Watchfree+, and Xumo Play.
