'Artemis Fowl' Animated TV Show Set at Disney
---------------------------------------------
Artemis Fowl is coming to TV.

An animated series adaptation of the bestselling book franchise has
been greenlit for Disney Channel and Disney+. Author Eoin Colfer
announced the news during the "25 Years of Artemis Fowl" panel at
New York Comic Con.

Colfer will serve as an executive producer of the series, which
follows the 13-year-old genius Artemis Fowl, who "uncovers an
underground world of armed and dangerous - and surprisingly
high-tech - fairies as he launches a plan to capture one and steal
its magic to heal his dying mom and save his family," per the
logline.

The first "Artemis Fowl" book was published in 2001, and Colfer
followed it up with 10 additional novels, the latest of which came
out in 2021. The series has sold more than 35 million copies
worldwide and has been translated in 48 languages.

This isn't the first time the child prodigy has graced the screen.
A live-action film adaptation based on the first book debuted on
Disney+ in 2020 to negative reviews. The movie was removed from
the streaming service in 2023.

"For more than two decades, Eoin Colfer's 'Artemis Fowl' books have
captivated readers around the world with unforgettable characters,
imaginative world-building, and gripping adventures," said Ayo
Davis, president of Disney Kids & Family. "Bringing this beloved
franchise to life as an animated series gives us the opportunity to
introduce a new generation to Artemis' world while honoring the
longtime fans who have cherished these stories for years."

Colfer said, "I am proud and delighted to be part of the formidable
team that is putting the 'Artemis Fowl' animation on screen.
Everyone is so talented and so positive that I feel certain the
fairy world is in excellent hands."

The "Artemis Fowl" series is also executive produced by Ben Juwono
and Colleen Evanson.
