The “Harold & Kumar” movie series is currently getting ready to get in the Christmas spirit with “A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas,” but Lionsgate is also shopping an animated television show around to potential buyers.

According to The Hollywood Reporter and sources close to the project, John Co and Kal Penn, the stars of the movies, are set to reprise their roles for the animated show, and the scriptwriters behind “A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas,” Hayden Schlossberg and Jon Hurwitz will write the show’s script.

Even though Lionsgate has gotten many offers for the show, the studio hasn’t made an official deal yet.

There’s been an onslaught of adult animated shows in the past few years, and I’m not sure which networks have space for any more, particularly FOX. I would guess that Adult Swim could be a good place for “Harold & Kumar,” because Adult Swim tends to be more daring than Fox, who is happy with a “safe”-type of daring adult cartoon show.

Mandate Pictures’ “A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas” will be in theaters November 4, and, of course, in 3D. You can watch the red band trailer below this post or here at The Hollywood Reporter.
