`Kung Fu Panda` is on its way to the small screen as a comedy series.

Los Angeles, May 15: After kicking its way to Box-Office success, `Kung Fu Panda` is on its way to the small screen as a CG-animated comedy series.

In its second co-production with DreamWorks Animation SKG, Nickelodeon has ordered 26 episodes of `Kung Fu Panda: The Series.` The two companies also partnered on `The Penguins of Madagascar,` which premiered March 28 on Nick and ranked as the most-watched series premiere in the network`s history (6.1 million viewers).
