The WWE Network this week unveiled its programming slated to air in 2015, including eight new original shows produced with full-time nerd Seth Green and Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, a studio that Green co-owns and produces the robot chicken including an animated comedy series.

Camp WWE is a series of short films featuring WWE Superstars and Divas as children at a summer camp run by Vince McMahon. Camp WWE is aimed at adults, and WWE and Stoopid Buddy Stoodios promise to expose them to "shock value, slapstick humor, and social satire" all over.

"I'm insanely excited about this collaboration," Green said. 'WWE is one of the most heartfelt and professional organizations I've worked with. We couldn't be more excited to help them realize this vision."

When the series was first announced in 2013, Film Roman was named as the production studio and Mike Benson ("Anthrage," "The Bernie Mac Show") as the screenwriter.

The network will also rebroadcast "Hulk Hogan's Rockless Ring," a popular (and children's) animated series from the 1980s and a Saturday morning staple.

Green and WWE have a long history; the first season in 2005 featured an educational WWE-style showdown between Benjamin Franklin, the Wright Brothers, and Mahatma Gandhi in "Robot Chicken." And in 2010, Green made a guest appearance on a live WWE broadcast, standing in the ring in a six-man tag team match. Most recently, Stoopid Buddy Studios has produced the short-form series WWE Slam City for the WWE Network.

The Camp WWE concept is a bit similar to Green's first child voice acting job, as a child at a monsters-only summer camp run by Monster.

Camp WWE will premiere exclusively on the WWE Network in late 2015.
