Dan Aykroyd to Develop 'Blues Brothers’ Series

Bento Box Entertainment will develop and produce “The Blues Brothers” as a new primetime animated comedy series.

The project was presented to Bento Box Entertainment from co-creators and executive producers Dan Aykroyd, Judy Belushi and Emmy Award-winning original "Saturday Night Live" writer Anne Beatts.

The new series will chronicle the music, mayhem and comedy adventures of Jake and Elwood Blues, along with the characters within their band. Each episodes will also feature a score and soundtrack curated with the soul, blues and R&B classics performed by the original Blues Brothers.

Bento Box plans to shop “The Blues Brothers” to television platforms beginning this May.
