Disney XD has ordered Crash & Bernstein, a live-action comedy—with puppetry—about 14-year-old Wyatt Bernstein, the only son among four kids, who finally gets his dream of having a loud-mouthed brother when his puppet, Crash, comes to life. Crash brings Wyatt some much needed “boy reinforcement” amidst a household of sisters. Created by Eric Friedman (Austin & Ally, I’m in the Band), the multi-camera series will begin production in Hollywood in May for a Fall 2012 premiere on Disney XD. The announcement was made by Adam Bonnett, senior vice president, Original Programming, Disney Channel.
Bonnett said, “Full of unpredictable wit, Crash & Bernstein is another testament to Disney XD’s commitment to providing unique original programming for boys and their quest for discovery, adventure and humor. The series offers a fresh take on the typical buddy comedy and brings together an everyday kid and his ‘know no limits’ puppet as they navigate life’s adventures.”
Emmy®-nominated puppet master and filmmaker Tim Lagasse (Sesame Street, Between the Lions) will star as Crash.
The pilot was directed by Bruce Leddy (Mad TV). Crash & Bernstein is a production of It’s A Laugh Productions, Inc.
