The title is developed for TV with Matt Smith (<em>The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants<\/em>) and Shane Morris (<em>Frozen<\/em>), who are also story editing the show, while Charles Vaucelle (<em>Pat the Dog<\/em>) directs.<\/p>\n<p>The series is set to air in France on M6 and Gulli, with whom the series was developed, and on Rai in Italy in 2025. Superights, Superprod Group\u2019s international sales arm, will manage international distribution.<\/p>\n<p>J\u00e9r\u00e9mie Fajner and Cl\u00e9ment Calvet, co-founders of the Superprod Group, commented, &#8220;Reviving <em>Underdog<\/em> for a new generation is such a wonderful opportunity. With our incredible team of marquee talent, we are thrilled to say, &#8216;There\u2019s no need to fear: Underdog is here!&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are eager to bring this project to audiences and proud of this partnership with M6 Group and Rai.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Philippe Bony, president of Gulli, added, &#8220;We are delighted with this new collaboration with Superprod and Charles Vaucelle, with whom we already worked on <em>Dogmatix<\/em> and <em>The Indomitables <\/em>(dogs again!). Tender, awkward but brave, Underdog is the kind of hero we love!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Red Monk Studio&#8217;s Pedro Citaristi said, &#8220;We and our talents are very happy to have the opportunity to work on this amazing series and very proud to bring it to Italy.
