Canadian animation house Cuppa Coffee Studios has pulled Ozzy, Sharon, Jack and Kelly back into primetime TV by producing an animated series about the Osbourne clan.
The Black Sabbath frontman and his family will each provide voices for stop-motion animated versions of themselves in a new comedy sitcom entitled The F’n Osbournes.
No word on whether there’s any resemblance to the MTV reality show The Osbournes, which aired from 2002 to 2005, aside from TV cameras not being allowed into the home of the heavy metal music legend this time round.
Toronto-based Cuppa Coffee plans 20 episodes of the primetime cartoon, to be shopped for pre-sales at MIPTV in April.
“I’ve been excited about animating our often crazy lives for a while now,” Sharon Osbourne, who will executive produce the comedy along with son Jack, said in a statement.
Cuppa Coffee founder Adam Shaheen, who also created the show’s concept and will also executive produce, added in his own statement: “Although it is animation, it’s certainly not one for little kids, bearing in mind the family that are at the root of it.”
Cuppa Coffee’s previous credits include Nick at Nite’s Glenn Martin DDS, Celebrity Death Match for MTV, Teletoon’s Life’s a Zoo, and comedy Ugly Americans for Comedy Central.
