Cartoon Network Orders Live-Action Pilot Unnatural History

In a bid to mix up its demographics, Cartoon Network has put together a cast for a live-action drama pilot, Unnatural History, about a teenager (Kevin G. Schmidt) who returns from world travels with his parents to attend high school in New York.

According to THR, the full-hour pilot will take an adventure angle. In a somewhat puzzling move, Cartoon Network began exploring live-action shows this year, focusing on series with teens as stars that could also appeal to adults. Animated series will still make up a considerable part of the network’s lineup.
