Peacock has announced a sequel to the hit animated film Megamind. The sequel will take the form of a series this time. Megamind’s Guide To Defending Your City sees the titular character making the shift from supervillain to superhero. All of his brain bots will be along to help chronicle the journey as he becomes part problem-solve part influencer. Alan Schoolcraft and Brent Simons are back to executive produce the project. (They wrote the original movie back in 2010.) JD Ryznar is along as a Story Editor and Co-Executive Producer.
Here’s a synopsis of Megamind’s Guide To Defending Your City. “MEGAMIND’S GUIDE TO DEFENDING YOUR CITY is the series follow-up to the hit movie, where Megamind goes from being a supervillain and the scourge of Metro City to a superhero who’s learning on the job. He’ll be bringing the audience along for the ride, as Megamind’s trusty brainbots will be recording everything, making him the world’s first superhero influencer.”
