The creators of King of the Hill are working on a new animated series called The Goode Family.
It is the first major project from writer Mike Judge since KOTH. Executive producers John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky have also returned.
The show, being made for ABC, is about a family of do-gooders and is the network's first new animation since Clerks.
Work is underway on 13 episodes thanks to an agreement the producer, Media Rights Capital, has reached with the striking Writers Guild of America.
MRC television president Keith Samples said: "As a practical matter, signing the waiver gave us a big advantage in getting going on a lot of these things that were sitting on hold. It allowed us to start working on projects and get some traction."
