A new animated series based on author Jeff Smith’s comic book series “Bones” is in the works for Netflix, the target audience being children.

“I’ve waited a long time for this,” Smith said  in a statement. “Netflix is the perfect home for Bone. Fans of the books know that the story develops chapter by chapter and book by book. An animated series is exactly the way to do this! The team at Netflix understands Bone and is committed to doing something special — this is good news for kids and cartoon lovers all over the world.”
