NEW YORK, July 18 (UPI) -- Syfy says it has ordered six episodes of "Monster Man," a docu-series about a quirky Hollywood creature-making family.
The announcement was made Friday by Mark Stern, president of original content for Syfy and co-head of content for Universal Cable Productions.
Stern said six 1-hour episodes have been ordered from Gurney Productions, the team behind Syfy's new series "Haunted Collector."
"We are entering the creative world of a very eccentric, artistic family," Stern said in a statement. "Cleve [Hall] and his team will give our viewers a rare behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to bring monster props, puppets and costume pieces to life. But they're also a family business, so the unusual dynamic between them is half the fun."
"Monster Man" follows Cleve Hall, his daughters Constance and Elora Hall, his ex-wife Sonja Maddox-Hall, best friends Roy Knyrim and Johnny Saiko, as well as office manager Cindy Miller.
Production on "Monster Man" is slated to begin in Los Angeles this month. It is expected to start airing in January.
