Ellen DeGeneres Bringing ‘Green Eggs and Ham’ to Netflix in 2018

Netflix has announced a new series based on Dr. Seuss' Green Eggs and Ham coming in 2018.

The show will feature "cutting-edge animation". Ellen DeGeneres has been announced as one of the executive producers.

Netflix had some fun announcing Green Eggs and Ham to reporters:

Issued from Netflix headquarters.
Delivered straight to all reporters.

We'd love to share some happy news
based on the rhymes of Dr. Seuss.
Green Eggs and Ham will become a show
and you're among the first to know.

In this richly animated production,
a 13-episode introduction,
standoffish inventor (Guy, by name)
and Sam-I-Am of worldwide fame,
embark on a cross-country trip
that tests the limits of their friendship.
As they learn to try new things,
they find out what adventure brings.
Of course they also get to eat
that famous green and tasty treat!

Cindy Holland, VP of Original Content for Netflix

for our growing slate of amazing stories
available exclusively in all Netflix territories.
You can stream it on a phone.
You can stream it on your own.
