I'd want interesting characters, first and foremost. The Oddworld cast is fun for the length of a game and for the narrative story telling that happens in the Oddworld series. On their own almost each one of them is about as interesting as a sack of hay. And yes, that includes Abe. Placing these characters in a 10 episode TV show would be boring as shit, trust me.
For a TV show or even a movie to work you need characters with personality. Oddworld, for all it's amazing world building, has never had characters with an ounce of personality. The range covers basically 'goofy', 'grumpy' or 'evil'. I'm kinda hoping Soulstorm can throw a wrench in the works in that department.
