    NBC Peacock Orders Frogger-Themed Competition Series

    Mary Anne ButlerBy Updated:1 Min Read

    For whatever reason, NBC’s new streaming service Peacock is currently developing a competition series based on the classic Konami video game, Frogger. This announcement shouldn’t come as a surprise in a world that contains a live-action “Battleship” film, a “Tetris” movie, and a proposed Rubix Cube universe.

    Featuring 12 obstacle courses (or “crossings”), “Frogger” contestants will dodge traffic, leap over snapping gators, and hop over hungry hippos to conquer the course and win a cash prize.

    Chris Culvenor and Paul Franklin are executive producing for Eureka Productions, who are in turn working in partnership with Konami Cross Media NY.

    Peacock has already ordered 13 episodes.

    We’ll let you know what we hear about a possible release date.

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
