“Adult Swim” To Get “Superbad” Voices To Offer “The Shivering Truth” Created By “Showzen” / “Xavier: The Renegade Agency” Producer

Wear a jacket.

Yes, Vernon Chatman is best known as the producer for Wonder Showzen and Xavier: The Renegade Angel, but we should also be thanking him because Louis CK has said in interviews that it was Vernon’s idea to produce The Cops as an animated comedy, and now that show’s coming to TBS.

Vernon ain’t done, as a matter of fact, he’s producing a new stop-motion pilot for Adult Swim called The Shivering Truth that will feature Superbad stars Michael Cera and Jonah Hill along with Starlee Kine.

According to Variety, The Shivering Truth is described as a delicately crafted, darkly surreal anthology comedy, “a miniature propulsive omnibus clusterbomb of painfully riotous daymares all dripping with the orange goo of dream logic.”

Vernon is co-directing the pilot with Cat Solen and it’s being produced by PFFR with Shadowmachine being tapped as the stop-motion producer.

Our Take

Adult Swim continues a VERY busy 2017 whence compared to last year. Samurai Jack, Mike Tyson Mysteries, Squidbillies, Rick and Morty, Apollo Gauntlet, The Jellies, Robot Chicken, Mr. Pickles, and Hot Streets all in the same year means the network is gonna need some new franchises for 2018 to go along with Venture Bros., Dream Corp LLC, and whatever anime the Toonami lineup is gonna get its hands on. The Shivering Truth could be the start of that push for ’18 content.
