Cult classic platform star Earthworm Jim returning to TV

Cult classic platform star Earthworm Jim, first seen on Super Nintendo and Mega Drive back in the early 90s, is returning to television in a brand-new animated series.

As those of a certain age may recall, Earthworm Jim’s early video game success saw the space-faring invertebrate make the jump to television once before, way back in the mists of 1995 with an animated TV show that ran for two seasons and 23 episodes.

Today’s news follows the announcement of a brand-new Earthworm Jim video game, titled Earthworm Jim 4, which is due to release for the controversial Intellivision Amico – a much-delayed console still without a release date, despite the fact some of its games are now on sale.
