‘Gravity Falls’ Creator Alex Hirsch Will Develop An Animated Series for Fox
Alex Hirsch, late of Disney’s Gravity Falls, is developing an animated series for Fox.
“I’m cooking up some brand-new weirdness,” Hirsch, 30, told Variety, which first reported the news. Hirsch will develop a script and presentation pilot. No details about the project have been announced yet, though it will be presumably have a more adult tone since it is being developed for a primetime slot. Fox hasn’t committed to anything beyond the pilot.
Hirsch’s Disney XD series Gravity Falls will end its run with an hour-long finale on February 15th. Hirsch made the decision to end the series himself, explaining on Tumblr a couple months ago that, “Ialways designed Gravity Falls to be a finite series about one epic summer- a series with a beginning, middle, and end.”
Hirsch acknowledged the news of the Fox project on his Twitter account yesterday afternoon:
The rumors are true! I'm cooking up some new strange projects for some new strange places. 2016 is gonna be a crazy year buddies
