The first long-form 'Angry Birds' series is in the works and will be aimed at six-to-twelve year-olds.

Finnish firm Rovio, which owns the "Angry Birds" property, has roped producer and distributor Cake to make the new series, reported Variety.

The producers have not revealed how many episodes there will be or how long each instalment will run.

"Long-form content marks the obvious next step in extending the 'Angry Birds' brand on the small screen," said Tom van Waveren, CEO & creative director at Cake.

The current TV and digital lineup include the original 2D "Angry Birds Toons" series, and spin-offs "Angry Birds Blues" and "Piggy Tales," which featured characters from the "The Angry Birds Movie".
