New season of Evil

Nerd Corps Entertainment will turn out a second season of its Legion of Super Evil this fall, following a 26 x 30 order from YTV. The Vancouver shop looks to deliver the new episodes next spring or summer, and is augmenting the cartoon series with online properties and a tradable card game.

The series is aimed at the six- to 11-year-old set, and recently sold to broadcasters in territories including Spain, Portugal, Benelux and Israel. It also airs on Cartoon Network in the U.S. and CBBC in the U.K.
