Star Wars: Clone Wars writer is adapting Obsidian's Grounded for TV

An animated Grounded TV show is in the works from Star Wars: Clone Wars writer Brent Friedman.

According to Deadline, the Grounded TV adaptation will take place in the same terrifying world as the Xbox backyard survival game, which was developed by Fallout: New Vegas studio Obsidian and follows a group of teens who have to survive after being shrunken to the size of ants.

The TV series is based around a similar premise, with four high school friends planning "big things" who inadvertently end up shrinking themselves. Just like the game, they'll be tasked with surviving against now-enormous predators like ants and other common backyard inhabitants, as well as untangling a big ol' corporate conspiracy that threatens the safety of their whole town.
