Photo-Illustration: Vulture and Philomel Netflix continues its quest to reanimate our childhoods by acquiring the rights to Brian Jacques’s Redwall book series. The streamer has plans for an animated feature film and TV series based on the children’s fantasy novels. Patrick McHale, creator of Cartoon Network’s autumnal adventure Over the Garden Wall , has been tapped to write a feature based on the first book in the series, Redwall . Netflix will also create a TV series based on the character Martin the Warrior, co-founder of Redwall Abbey. The books, which have sold over 30 million copies worldwide across decades, follow the feats of the mice, moles, badgers, and hares living in Redwall Abbey, surrounded by a forest called the Mossflower Wood.

In an Instagram clip posted on Thursday, February 11, Chappelle — who was performing for a live crowd at Stubb’s in Austin, Texas — covered topics like getting COVID-19 in January and the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, before revealing that he’s now been paid for the show by ViacomCBS. “I never asked Comedy Central for anything.

You made that show worthless, because without your eyes, it’s nothing,” Chappelle told the crowd. “And when you stopped watching it, they called me.
