Netflix says that the series titled LINE FRIENDS "will be a non-verbal, slapstick comedy that tells the story of a diverse set of characters who are friends and neighbors living in the same town."
The CG animated show will feature five characters namely Brown, Cony, Sally, Moon, and James and will be available to an audience of all ages.
Netflix says that it will announce more details at a later date.
