Kulipari: An Army of Frogs was initially envisaged as a three-season story, creator Trevor Pryce revealed in an interview with Collider:
I honestly think the books are a better story, and the reason they’re a better story is because the original idea that I had was to do three seasons, one for each book. But what we found out very quickly was that those three seasons would have taken 10 years, and the books would have been 10 years old.
Instead, the first three books will be condensed into Season 1, while Pryce still has plans for Season 2:
So, very quickly, we decided to combine the first three books into one story, and then we’ll make something else, later on. I had to change a lot. I had to add some characters that weren’t in the book and had to change some motivations. The books are a slow burn. The series is a slow burn, but it’s a little faster. The tropes are the same and the characters are the same. It is Kulipari: Army of Frogs. But I would suggest that, if you have the time, read the books. I do think the books are a more robust story.
In contrasting the mediums, Pryce insists the first season is only the beginning of the Netflix journey, with Season 2 very much on the agenda:
It’s the same story, but you do have a different experience. The series is an interpretation of the books. The animated series dives a little more into the humor of the characters and the world. The series is really a starting point, for myself and for Netflix. They love it and I can’t speak highly enough for their support of it, but it really is a starting point. The next season of this will be a story that I’ve written just for the series.
Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the status of Kulipari: An Army of Frogs Season 2 renewal…
