Fans of the inflatable healthcare companion robot Baymax will be able to see more of him soon as it has been announced that the 3D computer-animated superhero comedy film "Big Hero 6" will be getting a TV series.

According to a report by The Hollywood Reporter, the 2014 Disney film, which is actually based on the Marvel comics of the same name, will be adapted into an animated series on Disney XD.

As noted in Cartoon Brew, Gary Marsh, president and chief creative officer, Disney Channels Worldwide, stated, "Our colleagues at Walt Disney Animation Studios have created a brilliant new world, inspired by Marvel, with vivid, unique characters."

He then went on to say that they are excited to bring in more adventures of the characters through a world-class animated series with the help of Mark McCorkle and Bob Schooley ("The Penguins of Madagascar," "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command," "Kim Possible"), who will executive produce the series for Disney Television Animation. Meanwhile, Nick Filippi ("The Legend of Tarzan," "Wolverine and the X-Men") is tasked to be the show's supervising director.

Fans who are looking forward to catching the brand-new show can expect to see in the small screen this time the 14-year-old robotics genius Hiro Hamada, together with his robot, Baymax, who was created by his brother, Tadashi, in the movie. It will also feature the other Big Hero 6 members, Wasabi, Honey Lemon, Fred, and Go Go. Together as a team, they fight side by side to protect the futuristic fictional city of San Fransokyo from scientifically enhanced villains.

The synopsis released also revealed that Hiro will be encountering some academic challenges while being the new prodigy at San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. Whatever challenge it may be, it's expected that he will be facing it with Baymax by his side.

There is no premiere date yet for the "Big Hero 6" TV series, but it is said to be in production already and will arrive sometime in 2017.
