Global hit Webtoon webcomic 'Lumine' looks set for another life as an animated series, reported Variety. Webtoon Productions, the U.S.-based studio and IP business of Webtoon Entertainment, has pacted with French animation studio OuiDo! Productions for the project.
"Lumine is exactly the kind of project we love to champion at OuiDo!: a beloved world, memorable characters, and a story with true emotional resonance. - Sandrine Nguyen"
According to the outlet, 'Lumine's adaptation will be introduced during this week's Annecy Festival Mifa market in France, which runs June 23-26.
A logline released by Webtoon Productions and OuiDo! On Monday confirmed that the adaptation is once more set in a world where weredogs, witches, and humans live side by side.
"Lumine is a down-on-his-luck weredog with nowhere to turn...until he meets antisocial witch boy Kody. One causes trouble wherever he goes, and the other attracts trouble like a magnet," the logline runs, as quoted by Variety.
"Without realising, Lumine has stumbled paws first into a family full of their own secrets. Kody is plagued by shadows, and his motivations for hiring Lumine aren't nearly as simple as they seem. Things are far more dangerous than Lumine bargained for, and this is only the beginning," the logline ends as quoted by Variety.
Screenwriter Bryan Q. Miller will serve as showrunner and co-write the adaptation, working with OuiDo! Productions CEO Sandrine Nguyen and her creative team at Paris-based OuiDo! Productions.
The adaptation's executive producers are Webtoon Productions President David Madden and Head of Global Animation Sydney Bright alongside OuiDo!'s Nguyen and President Boris Hertzog.
"'Lumine' is exactly the kind of project we love to champion at OuiDo!: a beloved world, memorable characters, and a story with true emotional resonance," said Sandrine Nguyen, CEO of OuiDo! Productions as quoted by Variety.
