According to The Hollywood Reporter, 20th Century Fox TV has made a pilot order for Two Dreadful Children, an animated series from Kitchen Confidential creator/exec producer Dave Hemingson. The FOX network has a number of toon concepts in development in hopes of expanding its Sunday night ‘Animation Domination’ block, which currently includes The Simpsons, King of the Hill, Family Guy and American Dad.
Hemingson, who has written for American Dad and served as consulting producer on Family Guy, is writing and exec producing Dreadful Children. In the show, a set of terrible twins from a redneck family turn out to be geniuses, perhaps giving Family Guy‘s Stewie some competition in that department.
Another animated pilot in the works at 20th Century Fox TV is an unnamed project from Robert Smigel, Greg Cohen and Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison production shingle. Last year there was talk of a pilot order for an animated series based on the book Stories From a Moron: Real Stories Rejected by Real Magazines. The book was authored by Ed Broth, which may or may not be a pen name for comedian Jerry Seinfeld.
