More comedy is needed right now.

McTucky Fried High, the comedic, animated web series about an ensemble of teen foods has launched Season 2. Season 2 Episode 2 releases TODAY, June 13, 2016. Season 2 runs for 7 episodes, with the season finale on July 18th, 2016. You can see the premiere on Fusion.net and link to our YouTube page!

In the wake of the mass shoot of the LGBTQIA+ Latinx club Pulse in Orlando, FL just days prior, it is important now more than ever to lift up queer and trans voices, people of color, show solidarity and priority for the lives and issues that are too often silenced, overlooked and worse, killed. McTucky stands in solidarity with the Orlando community and in the movement for decades of bring attention to the violence and discrimination that impacts our communities.

McTucky Fried High stands out as one of the only LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning) animated cartoons to date. Season 2 uses humor to tackle current issues of transgender people and bathrooms, women in sports, “religious freedom”, systemic racism, and sexual health while foregrounding and affirming LGBTQ characters and experiences.

Creator, Director and Executive Producer Robert-Carnilius uses his own life, creative passions and community involvement as inspiration in hopes of generating an entertaining, insightful and humorous cartoon. The McTucky Fried High cast and crew are also comprised predominantly of LGBTQ people and people of color,going beyond visibility by using personal empowerment to shape and create media that has a personal, political and artistic impact.

The overwhelming lack of representation of LGBTQ affirming narratives in media and production by LGBTQ people, especially LGBTQ people of color perpetuates the harsh realities many LGBTQ youth experience. McTucky Fried High aims to change that. As a web based series, it is free to anyone with internet access and affirms many gender identities, sexualities and struggles youth face.
