“Future-Worm!,” created by the Emmy Award-winning director Ryan Quincy (“South Park,” IFC’s “Out There”), is coming to Disney XD in short-form and a newly announced full-length series beginning in Fall 2015. Quincy, who joined the Disney Television Animation team in 2013, is the executive producer. The announcement was made today by Eric Coleman, Senior Vice President, Original Series, Disney Television Animation.
Coleman said, “When we first heard Ryan’s pitch, we knew we had something unique. It’s your classic ‘Boy and His Worm’ story, but this worm is from the future…and has a beard. We loved Ryan’s original animated shorts so much we greenlit a full series.”
