Corner Gas, the iconic sitcom set in Saskatchewan, is returning to the airwaves in cartoon form.
Show producers announced in a news release Monday they're working on 13 episodes of an animated series that will star the voices of Brent Butt and most of the cast from the live-action version, which ended its six-season run in 2009.
Janet Wright, who played Emma in the sitcom and the 2014 movie, died last month. Casting is underway for a new Emma.
Other actors returning include Gabrielle Miller (Lacey), Eric Peterson (Oscar), Fred Ewanuick (Hank), Lorne Cardinal (Davis) and Tara Spencer-Nairn (Karen).

The animated series will run on the Comedy Network, starting in 2017-18.
Pre-production on the show begins in Toronto and Vancouver in January.
The original show was filmed in Regina and Rouleau, Sask.
