Based on Craig McCracken's hit animated show on Cartoon Network, the three Utonium Sisters got their start as lab-created super-girls. But according to a description from the network, the show, co-produced by \"Juno\" Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody, paints the heroes as \"disillusioned twenty-somethings who resent having lost their childhood to crime fighting.\"

\"Scrubs\" veteran Donald Faison was reportedly recently cast as their dad/creator Professor Drake Utonium, and Nicholas Podany has just been announced as Jojo Mondel -- apparently the son of the cartoon's talking monkey villain, Mojo Jojo.

According to Deadline, Robyn Lively has also been cast as the girls' confidante -- and Drake's sometime love interest -- Sara Bellum for the forthcoming show.

Tom Kenny, now known as the voice of \"SpongeBob Squarepants,\" will reprise his role as narrator in the live-action version.
