HBO Max Animated Comedy Fired on Mars; TBS Comedic Game Show Returns in May

HBO Max has released the official trailer and key art for the upcoming original adult animated series Fired on Mars. Created by Nate Sherman and Nick Vokey, Fired on Mars tells the story of Jeff Cooper who finds himself adrift after taking a one-way trip to the Red Planet only to have his bosses unceremoniously eliminate his role. The series stars Luke Wilson along with a cast that includes Leslie David Baker, Cory Loykasek, Stephen Root, and Cedric Yarbrough. The eight episode season debuts Thursday, April 20 on HBO Max. Guest Stars: Pamela Adlon, Thomas Haden Church, Tim Heidecker, Frankie Quinones, Emily Watson, and Sean Wing.
Jeff Cooper (Luke Wilson) has it all: a fulfilling career as the graphic designer for space start-up Mars.ly, a relationship with his soon-to-be Red Planet-bound girlfriend, Hannah, and… well, maybe that’s it. But when his bosses unceremoniously eliminate his role, Jeff finds himself jobless and unable to return to Earth. Adrift in the sprawling office colony, Jeff is forced to reinvent himself as he attempts to find meaning in a dangerous, alien, yet all-too-familiar corporate landscape. An existential and irreverent animated comedy series, Fired on Mars explores the precarious relationship between work and self...light years away from Earth.
TBS' high-octane competition series, The Cube, hosted by three-time NBA Champion, one of the NBA's 75 all-time greatest players, and founder of 59th and Prairie Entertainment, Dwyane Wade, will return for its second season on Sunday, May 14, at 9:00PM ET/PT.
