Information
In March of 2013, three articles from three[1] different[2] sources[3] were released stating that Gene Simmons, lead vocalist of the band, was working with the children's television network The Hub to create a show based on the crossover line. Details about the show were scarce given how early the project was into development, but the plot was said to be about "four Kiss x Hello Kitty characters living their rock 'n' roll dreams and bringing pink anarchy to every situation they are in.".
Gene Simmons was said to be a lead producer, and Paul Stanley (another band member) was also said to have worked on the show in some capacity. A release date was never given, and KISS Hello Kitty was said to be a working title for the series.
