The popular video game franchise 'Backyard Sports' is returning as an animated series. Playground Productions, the company that revived the game series a few years ago, announced at San Diego Comic-Con on Friday that it is developing 'Backyard Sports: The Animated Series.' The show will consist of 20 episodes, each 11 minutes long. The voice cast includes actors Arturo Castro and Tiffany Haddish, along with other performers expected to join. The series will follow the adventures of Pablo Sanchez and other characters from the games. 'Backyard Sports' was a beloved video game series that originally launched in the late 1990s, featuring kids playing various sports like baseball, soccer, and basketball. The franchise was known for its diverse cast of young athletes. Playground Productions acquired the rights a few years ago and has been working on bringing it back to fans. The animated series is the latest step in the revival. No release date has been announced yet. The project is still in development.
