UPDATE: As mentioned in the comments, unfortunately the Chew animation is no longer moving forward! Co-creator Rob Guillory made the official announcement between the writing and posting of this article, just a few days ago with Inverse. He mentioned that the voiceover had been recorded by all three principals, but it's not coming out. However, there is a live-action TV show that is still in early stages of development and could move forward.

"The animated feature is not happening. The internet is bad with rumors, we had to go on social media and put it out there that it isn’t happening. We recorded Felicia Day, we had Steven Yeun as well as David Tennant. They all recorded and we were moving forward, and it just didn’t happen because Hollywood can be weird sometimes. But the animated feature is completely dead. We do have some movement on the live-action show, though."

ORIGINAL: Tony Chu is a Cibopath, a specific type of tactile telepath that can see the past of things and people by touch – but in this case, it can't just be holding it in their hands; instead, Cibopaths have to eat it. Got a murder victim? Well, a bite of their tongue or finger might solve the crime. That's one dedicated detective.

This one is unique and is going to animation. Jeff Krlitz is producing and directing with a screenplay by John Layman. Steven Yeun of The Walking Dead is set to voice Tony, with Felicia Day voicing Amelia Mintz, his love interest, and David Tennant as Tony's partner Mason Savoy. No release has been given, though it was reported that Yeun and Day had already recorded their voiceover work as early as mid-2015.
