LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – It's official: "Napoleon Dynamite" is coming to TV.

Fox is giving a series order to a project based on the indie hit, one of two new teen-friendly animated projects green-lighted by the network.

Fox has picked up six episodes of the show, with the original cast from the film on board as voice talent -- including Jon Heder as the title character.

The network also ordered seven episodes of another show, "Allen Gregory," from "Superbad" star Jonah Hill and "Yes Man" scribes Andrew Mogel and Jarrad Paul.

"Gregory" revolves around the world's most celebrated 7-year-old as he embarks on the greatest challenge of his life: attending elementary school with regular kids.

With "Dynamite," the comedy follows the misadventures of an awkward high school teenager and his quirky friends as they struggle to navigate life in rural Idaho.

Oh its going to be a FOX show, i foresee this joint lasting 2 episodes at most. FOX's newer shows never have longevity

I thought the movie was annoying. I can't imagine watching the TV show.

Surprising, I thought MTV would budget something like this. It won't last, too late for that.
