"Do you like green eggs and ham?" "I do not like them, Sam-I-Am" Get ready, y'all, because Netflix is turning one of your favorite books of your childhood [1], Green Eggs and Ham, into a family series come November. The animated series, which will feature 13 half-hour episodes, has one of the most incredible voice casts, including Keegan-Michael Key as the narrator, Adam DeVine as Sam-I-Am, Michael Douglas as Guy-I-Am, Ilana Glazer as EB, and more (plus, Ellen DeGeneres [2] is one of the executive producers)!
As for the story, it'll be slightly different than the back-and-forth dialogue in the book. "The story of Green Eggs and Ham is like a postmodern Planes, Trains and Automobiles through the whimsical world of Dr. Seuss," according to information provided by Netflix. The story follows Sam and Guy, who meet in a diner and cross paths with Michellee (a love interest for Guy) and her daughter, EB. "Our fakakta foursome are also unknowingly pursued by a bounty hunter goat, two bad guys, and a villain who's out to get the Chickeraffee as his ultimate trophy." Sounds like quite the tale!
Keep reading to get a peek at some of the stills from season one of the new Green Eggs and Ham [3] series, which begins streaming on Nov. 8, and to see both the first official trailer as well as a video of the star-studded cast reading the classic Dr. Seuss story that it's based off of.
