Is there real, How To Train Your Dragon-level demand for a Hotel Transylvania spin-off TV series? Sony Pictures Animation and Nelvana Enterprises certainly think so, as the company is developing a new series based on the film.

While you might wonder how they’ll get Adam Sandler, Kevin James, David Spade and the rest to commit to longer recording sessions (or whether they’ll simply opt for sound-alikes), it appears the show is going in a slightly different direction. Its focus, according to Deadline, will be on Dracula’s daughter Mavis, voiced in the film and its upcoming sequel by Selena Gomez, and even then will be set in her teenage years, so even Gomez’s services may not be necessary.

If this goes ahead, there’s a chance they can then score Sandler and co. for occasional drop-ins. And while the movie might not match, say the figures of the Dragon films, the original made $358.4 million worldwide back in 2012, the majority of that from overseas markets. And the concept of a monster-owned hotel has some promise, assuming it doesn’t devolve into a predictable panic-about-human-discovery plot all the time.

Hotel Transylvania 2, meanwhile, arrives here on October 9.
