The Merc with the Mouth is breaking more walls – this time on the small screen.

Donald and Steven Glover are set to write and executive produce the animated series, with a writers’ room set up in London to work with Glover as he works on the Young Han Solo movie for next Spring, in which he plays Lando Calrissian.

“Donald Glover is an incredibly gifted and versatile artist who’ll bring the untitled Marvel’s Deadpool series to life with the same intense, singular vision as his breakout hit Atlanta,” FX president of original programming Nick Grad explained. “With the success of Legion, we’re looking forward to again partnering with Marvel Television to create a series that is bold, striking and entirely original.”

Jeph Loeb added, “How much more fun could this be? Deadpool, Donald and FX – the perfect fit for the Merc with the Mouth! We’re thrilled that our relationship with FX that started with Legion continues with what is sure to be a groundbreaking show in adult animation.”
