What’s better than a wholehearted DreamWorks comedy based on the adjustment period of an alien who moves in with a teen and her human family? If you’re a kid, probably not much, and Netflix will deliver all of that goodness to you on a silver platter with Home: Adventures With Tip & Oh, according to Variety. The brand new original series, which is one of several shows Netflix has ordered from the cartoon kingpins, will revive the characters Tip (to be voiced by Rachel Crow) and Oh (to be voiced by Mark Whitten) from the hit 2015 movie Home. Created and executive produced by Ryan Crego, the quirky feel-good family comedy will be made available as of July 29th, although the episode number is unclear at this time. So cuddle up with one of your favorite stuffed animals and get ready to experience the show’s inaugural season this summer.
