Jamie Hewlett is developing a Gorillaz TV series
The cartoon members of Gorillaz aren’t actually gorillas, but it seems like they might soon have something in common with The Monkees. Apparently, band co-creator Jamie Hewlett has been working on a 10-episode TV show about the group, and though we don’t know much beyond that, we do know that Hewlett and fellow Gorillaz mastermind Damon Albarn have been dramatically ramping up the band’s mythology in anticipation of the new album Humanz. This information comes from an interview with Q Magazine (via Fact Magazine), during which Hewlett also teases that he’s working on “new artwork, tour merchandise, a clothing line, and visuals” to go with the band’s resurgence.
