Matt Groening in Talks to Create an Original Animated Series for Netflix

Deadline broke some huge news Friday night that animator Matt Groening is in the midst of talks with Netflix. If their report is to be believed, The creator of The Simpsons and Futurama is being approached to bring an original animated series to the platform. Needless to say, this news is huge. 

If it happens to be true, this would be a huge win for Netflix in its growing war with network television. I can't imagine Fox would allow this to happen, but then again, I'm sure Groening is so big by now they can't tell him much of anything. Obviously, it's doable with The Simpsons still in production as Futurama ran alongside that for awhile, but what could he do now? Any time Groening has made something it's had a huge impact on pop culture, so I'm eager for him to confirm this news.
