Adult Swim Orders New Animated Comedy; Sarah Jessica Parker Returns to HBO with New Comedy
Adult Swim, basic cable's #1 network in total day with adults 18-24, 18-34, and 18-49, has greenlit Dream Corp, LLC., a new animated comedy series from creator Daniel Stessen (The Gold Sparrow) and executive produced by both American and British The Office alums, John Krasinski and Stephan Merchant, as well as Krasinski's Sunday Night partner Allyson Seeger. Dream Corp, LLC., an absurd workplace comedy set in a neglected dream therapy facility, continues Adult Swim's commitment to expanding their original programming slate with innovative animated shows like Rick and Morty and building their primetime audience.
The first Adult Swim original series to utilize the latest rotoscope technology, Dream Corp, LLC. will be an innovative standout in the current animation landscape. Each week viewers will watch as a rotating cast of desperate patients have their dreams recorded and analyzed by Dream Corp's absent-minded professor, Dr. Roberts (Jon Gries), and his team of unremarkable scientists. The new series is set to start production in Los Angeles, CA later this year. A premiere date will be announced at a later date. Stay with us.
