‘Kung Fu Panda: The Series’ headed to Nickelodeon

NEW YORK — Nickelodeon is adding a panda to its lineup — but not just any panda.

The cable channel announced that it’s “Kung Fu Panda: The Series.”

Based on the hit 2008 film, “Kung Fu Panda,” the series’ 26 episodes will be animated in the same computer-generated process. It will tell new adventures of Po, the frisky martial arts panda who starred in the film.

It’s the second co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Nickelodeon. In March, the network launched “The Penguins of Madagascar,” adapted from DreamWorks’ successful 2005 film “Madagascar.”
