Green Eggs and Ham is an American animated comedy adventure streaming television series loosely based on the 1960 Dr. Seuss book of the same title for Warner Bros. Animation and Netflix. It premiered on November 8, 2019 on Netflix. The series has received critical acclaim for its animation, humor, story and voice acting. In December 2019, Netflix renewed the series for a second season which will be titled Green Eggs and Ham: The Second Serving.
Sam-I-Am rescues the rare Chickeraffe from a zoo, saying that he intends to return it to its natural habitat. After he accidentally swaps his briefcase, containing the Chickeraffe, for that of failed inventor Guy-Am-I (the unnamed character in the original book), Sam and Guy end up on an road trip adventure with E.B., a girl who wants to adopt the Chickeraffe as a pet, and E.B.'s overprotective mother Michellee, who is also a romantic interest for Guy. The four are pursued by Hervink Z. Snerz, a tiny, evil, wealthy, and arrogant poacher and collector, who wants to claim the Chickeraffe (named Mr. Jenkins by E.B.) as a trophy; two mysterious "B.A.D.G.U.Y.S." named McWinkle and Gluntz who want to deliver it to their boss, the Bigman; and Snerz's bounty hunter, the Goat (as in the goat that rhymed with "boat" in the book).
