Ellen DeGeneres is coming to Netflix, with a Dr. Seuss-inspired tale that will transfix.
Sorry, had to get one out.
But to recap: Emmy-winning TV host DeGeneres is getting into business with the streaming network in a big way with a Green Eggs and Ham-inspired animated series, set to debut in 2018.
She made the announcement at the tail end of her show on Wednesday, saying the series "is going to combine two of my favorite things -- Dr. Seuss and binge watching."
Netflix has ordered 13 episode of the show, that will center on the adventures of standoffish inventor Guy and Sam-I-Am as they "embark on a cross-country trip that tests the limits of their friendship," a release said.
"As they learn to try new things, they find out what adventure brings," said the rhyming release. "Of course they also get to eat that famous green and tasty treat!"
DeGeneres is set as an executive producer, along with Jared Stern (The Lego Movie sequel).
"We think this will be a hit Green Eggs and Ham is a perfect fit for our growing slate of amazing stories available exclusively in all Netflix territories," Cindy Holland, vice president of original content for Netflix.
The far-off premiere date is said to be a result of the long production process ahead for the ambitious project.
"It's going to be cutting edge animation," DeGeneres said. "It's never been done on television before."
