The new show based on the Golden Axe series will be a “hilarious and loving” tribute to the sidescrolling beat ‘em up games popularized on the Sega Genesis console.

Comedy Central has ordered 10 episodes of Golden Axe, an animated show based on the fantasy beat ’em up sidescroller games. Deadline writes that it will be both “hilarious and loving” in its adaptation of the game. If I remember my Sega Genesis days well, I think that means there’ll be fighting over who gets to ride the purple bird dinosaur and that, at some point, a gigantic hairy skull will float down and hotbox everyone.

The show will also star Lisa Gilroy as the fire-wielding Tyris Flare and Liam McIntyre as Ax Battler, a barbarian who doesn’t battle with an ax.
