Further adding to its original programming aimed at young boys, Disney XD has ordered Crash & Bernstein, a new comedy series blending live-action and puppetry that heads into production in Hollywood next month and will make its Disney XD debut in fall 2012.
The It’s A Laugh Productions-produced series, which is created by Eric Friedman (Austin & Ally, I’m In The Band), follows the everyday adventures of 14-year-old Wyatt Bernstein whose longing for a brother (he has three sisters) comes true when his puppet Crash comes to life.
Crash is played by acclaimed puppet master/filmmaker Tim Lagasse (pictured) who has lent his puppetry skills to series including Sesame Street, Between the Lions, and Blue’s Room.
