Disney Channel has announced that their much rumored “Tron” computer animated series is in development and will bring the sci-fi classic to a new generation of viewers. The “Tron” series is aimed at children aged six to fourteen. While a pilot of the series has yet to be greenlit, Disney intends to release a ten-part micro-series in the fall of 2011 in anticipation of the series on Disney XD.
The “Tron” animated series will serve as a placeholder “maintaining fan interest while the second movie in what could be a brand new trilogy is put together”. The show will most likely air in late 2011 or early 2012.
