Update: This story has been updated with a statement and new details from Interplay. Doug has no involvement in this new EWJ TV Series.” Interplay said in a statement to Polygon that “Interplay owns all rights in the Earthworm Jim property and assembled a whole new creative team to bring Jim to the small screen. He has fought to keep progressive politics out of comics for years. He has frequently spoken out against marriage equality, and recently misgendered a transgender journalist who criticized his work. TenNapel is well known in the games and comics industry for his anti-LGBTQ+ views. It’s worth noting that Jim has a difficult history due to his original creator, Doug TenNapel. While he’s been part of some remakes and other projects in the 2000s, he’s mostly fallen into obscurity over the past 20 years. The character headlined four video games and a Kids’ WB animated series in the ’90s. He’s got a space blaster, and battles through the stars in a spaceship. Interplay has not revealed which network or streaming service Earthworm Jim, Beyond the Groovy will appear on, but a representative told Polygon, “We selected to represent the series and pick the best partner for distribution.”Įarthworm Jim is an earthworm in a beefy robotic suit. The announcement for Earthworm Jim, Beyond the Groovy includes a host of concept art and a faux interview with the star himself.

Obviously the main protagonist, Earthworm Jim is a brilliant character, but the other characters contained within the game (who mainly appear as bosses) are also interesting. You would think the game would be based on the animated series, but infact its the other way around. Image: Interplay Entertainment, Passion Pictures Earthworm Jim is full of cool characters.
