Dr. Seuss’ classic book “Green Eggs and Ham” is coming to Netflix in 2018.
The streaming service has ordered 13-eps which will be adapted by Jared Stern (“The LEGO Movie” sequel). Ellen DeGeneres (who announced the show – see the vid below) will exec produce with Stern, Jeff Kleeman, Mike Karz and David Dobkin.
But hey, I’ll let the press release do the rest of the talking, or rather, the rhyming…
We’d love to share some happy news
based on the rhymes of Dr. Seuss.
Green Eggs and Ham will become a show
and you’re among the first to know.
In this richly animated production,
a 13-episode introduction,
standoffish inventor (Guy, by name)
and Sam-I-Am of worldwide fame,
embark on a cross-country trip
that tests the limits of their friendship.
As they learn to try new things,
they find out what adventure brings.
Of course they also get to eat
that famous green and tasty treat!
Cindy Holland, VP of Original Content for Netflix
threw her quote into the mix:
“We think this will be a hit
Green Eggs and Ham is a perfect fit
for our growing slate of amazing stories
available exclusively in all Netflix territories.
You can stream it on a phone.
You can stream it on your own.
You can stream it on TV.
You can stream it globally.”
