Cartoon Network has started production on an as-yet-untitled prime-time series created by Andre Benjamin, aka Andre 3000 of OutKast, and Tom Lynch.

Twelve half-hour episodes have been ordered for the series, about a group of musically gifted kids. Mr. Benjamin will provide voices and musical direction.

The show is slated for a fall 2006 debut and is produced by Cartoon Network in conjunction with the Tom Lynch Co. and Andre Benjamin's production company, Moxie Turtle.
