The Whiskers of Meerkat Manor are coming to the big screen.
One of the most popular documentary series in Animal Planet 's history is getting a feature film adaptation. The title in question is Meerkat Manor, which followed a family of meerkats in South Africa's Kalahari Desert and debuted to massive ratings back in 2005. The show ran for four seasons and became the highest-rated show in network history, reaching more than 204 million households worldwide.
The Green Room's Seth Green and Tracy Falco are producing the Meerkat Manor movie, while original series creator Caroline Hawkins will executive produce alongside Clare Birks of Oxford Scientific Films. "It's 20 years since we experimented with a wildlife soap opera in a London basement, and now here we are," Hawkins added."What greater evidence could there be of the enduring appeal of meerkats? I am sure they would be thrilled at attaining stardom in Hollywood! Warner Bros is the natural home for this movie, and I am delighted to be partnering with Tracy, Seth and Bill whose visionary expertise is second to none.
