The classic 1960 Dr. Seuss book Green Eggs and Ham is headed to Netflix. Deadline reports that the streaming network has given a 13-episode order to an animated series based on the book written by Wreck-It-Ralph and The Lego Movie Sequel’s Jared Stern and co-executive produced by Ellen DeGeneres. Production on the series – which will reportedly be “the highest-end, most expensive animated program ever produced for television” – starts next month, and it’s not expected to premiere on Netflix until 2018.
