Is Herbie the Love Bug coming back to the small screen? TVLine reports Disney XD is developing a new TV series based on the classic Volkswagen Beetle character.
First introduced in the 1968 Disney movie The Love Bug, Herbie is an anthropomorphic Volkswagen Beetle who has a mind of his own. The franchise has launched several films, a 1982 TV show, and a comic book.
According to TVLine, Travis Braun is set to write the new Herbie series and will executive produce the Disney XD show with Tom Burkhard and Matt Dearborn. The lead role will be a young girl or boy who is “‘part scientist, part entrepreneur, part daredevil’ and realizes, when her/his parents go missing, that they’ve secretly been working on a government project: a talking car named Herbie.”
What do you think? Are you a big fan of the Herbie franchise? Would you watch the new Disney show?
one of my favorite movies from my childhood. i was born in 2004, and my grandma had that on vhs, was the 1960’s movie
Does anyone know whats happening in regards to this series??
I’ve never gotten so excited just to become severely depressed in such a short amount of time. I want a new Herbie, but the summary for this show is lazy and bad.
I love Herbie, but I don’t want him to talk. But when will the show first air on TV?
