The Epic Tales Of Captain Underpants: First Look

The magnificent story of Captain Underpants is set to continue in a brand new animated Netflix series, which will land on the streaming service on July 13.

Sean Astin (Stranger Things, The Goonies, Lord Of The Rings) will be our narrator in The Epic Tales Of Captain Underpants, based on the bestselling books by Dav Pilkey, and we’ve now had a big batch of promo pics through for you to have a look at. You may be delighted you did – there are plenty of intriguing images mixed in with the more standard Dreamworks animation shots. To fire up our gallery, just click on the main image up there.

Additionally, here’s the official synopsis for the series…

George Beard and Harold Hutchins are two best buds who share a love of comic books and practical jokes – and a strong dislike for their cranky, fun-hating school principal, Mr. Krupp. When their over-the-top pranks get out of hand, the boys unleash their creative superpowers by transforming Krupp into the bumbling, briefs-baring superhero, Captain Underpants! The future of Jerome Horwitz Elementary is always in jeopardy, and it’s up to two prank-loving fourth graders and one goofy caped crusader to save it. What could possibly go wrong?

And here’s the opening credit sequence for you, too…

More on this as we get it.
