LOS ANGELES, Sept. 30 (UPI) -- The U.S. cable network Nickelodeon says it has picked up a new live-action comedy series called "Supah Ninjas."

The announcement was made Thursday by Marjorie Cohn, the network's president of original programming and development.

"Supah Ninjas" follows three unsuspecting kids who are drafted into the secret world of ninjas, Nickelodeon said.

Created by Eric Garcia and Leo Chu, the series will be helmed by executive producers Garcia, Chu and Brian Robbins and Sharla Sumpter Bridgett through the Varsity Pictures production company.

The show is slated to begin production this year in Los Angeles for a 2011 premiere.

"'Supah Ninjas'' cinematic style and fantasy-fulfilling superhero adventures offer up a unique twist on the everyday trials of adolescence," Cohn said in a statement. "This series adds another flavor to our hit live-action lineup and gives our audience a broader assortment of comedy choices."
