LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - David Duchovny is making the leap from the adult themes of sex addiction in his new Showtime comedy series "Californication" to a live-action kids project for Cartoon Network.

The untitled project centers on a youngster from a long line of newsmen who turns his high school's audiovisual club into a hard-hitting citywide broadcast.

Duchovny will executive produce with "Even Stevens" creator Matt Dearborn, who wrote the pilot, and Robert Mora, a former producer on Disney Channel's "Phil of the Future" and Nickelodeon's "The Secret Life of Alex Mack."

Cartoon entered the live-action arena less than a year ago with the December debut of live-action/animated movie "Re-Animated." A live-action series spinoff -- "Out of Jimmy's Head" -- premiered Friday night.

"Californication," in which the former "X-Files" star plays a misanthropic Hollywood writer, recently got picked up for a second season.
