The monsters of "Hotel Transylvania" will be relocating to the small screen. Sony Pictures Animation and Nelvana are currently developing a TV series based on the animated feature film that features the voice of Adam Sandler and Selena Gomez among others.
The TV series will focus on the teenage years of Dracula's daughter Mavis and her friends. Gomez voices Mavis in the 2012 movie and its upcoming sequel, but the voice cast for the small-screen version has not been announced yet.
"We're excited to be entering into a new relationship with Sony Pictures Animation to extend the world of 'Hotel Transylvania' into a new TV series," says Colin Bohm, VP and Head of Corus Kids, "The hilarious characters and clever premise of 'Hotel Transylvania' set the stage for endless story possibilities."
Sony Animation president Kristine Belson adds, "Audiences have embraced the world and characters of 'Hotel Transylvania', so we are thrilled to be partnering with Nelvana to take them on new adventures, expanding on the teenage years of Mavis and her friends at the world-famous monster five star resort!"
"Hotel Transylvania" set a record as the highest-grossing September opening ever at the U.S. box office and collected a total of $358.4 million worldwide. Its follow-up "Hotel Transylvania 2" will open in theaters across the nation on September 25.
