Cartoon Network is swinging into action. Adult Swim has ordered two new animated TV shows that will premiere in 2017.
Hot Streets, from creator Brian Wysol, follows an FBI agent who investigates supernatural incidents with his partner, his niece and her dog. Wysol is executive producing with Seth Green, Matt Senreich, John Harvatine IV, Eric Towner, and Justin Roiland. Expect a fall premiere.
Before that though, the Apollo Gauntlet TV series kicks off this summer. Created by Myles Langlois, the series features an ordinary cop who, in another world, becomes a superhero.
