Netflix Orders New Musical-Comedy Series

Netflix has ordered the brand-new animated musical-comedy series Centaurworld from first-time showrunner Megan Nicole Dong.

Centaurworld follows a warhorse who is transported from her embattled world to a strange land inhabited by silly, singing centaurs of all species, shapes and sizes. Desperate to return home, she befriends a group of these magical creatures and embarks on a journey that will test her more than any battle she’s ever faced before.

Dong served as a story artist on DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon 2 and Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie, before becoming a supervising director on Netflix’s Pinky Malinky. She will also executive produce the series, alongside Dominic Bisignano (Star vs the Forces of Evil).

Netflix has committed to a 20-episode order. The series will feature a mix of animation styles, and each episode will include original songs in a variety of genres.
