Description: A web series that breathes new life into J.M. Barrie's most famous work is looking to pick up a third season. The New Adventures of Peter + Wendy, which applies a digital twist to the world of Peter Pan, has returned to Indiegogo in order to fund a new batch of episodes.

The New Adventures of Peter and Wendy is a webseries created by Kyle Walters (most recently known for his role in Welcome to Sanditon) and Shawn DeLoache. Loosely based on J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, it’s set in a fictional Neverland, Ohio in which Peter is a comics writer, Wendy an advice columnist, and Wendy’s brothers John and Michael a neurotic editor and ne’er-do-well slacker, respectively.
