Adult Swim Announces Premiere Date/Time For “Teenage Euthanasia”
Adult Swim has quietly announced a September 6th @ 12 am ET/PT premiere for Teenage Euthanasia.
Set in a mildly apocalyptic near-future, the animated comedy half-hour Teenage Euthanasia centers around the Fantasy Family and their inland Florida funeral home, Tender Endings. The cast of characters include recently undead Trophy Fantasy (voiced by Maria Bamford); her teenage daughter, Euthanasia “Annie” Fantasy Jo Firestone); Annie’s Oedipus-complex-stricken Uncle Pete (Tim Robinson); and Annie’s “old country” immigrant grandmother Baba (Bebe Neuwirth).
As a teenage mom, Trophy ran away from home, leaving Annie behind to be raised by her Baba and uncle Pete. Fifteen years later, Trophy finally returns to Tender Endings… like a corpse, for burial. But when lightning strikes Baba’s homemade embalming fluid and one of Annie’s tears magically brings Trophy back from the dead, Trophy finds herself a resurrected woman with a second chance to become an unplanned parent (and a variety of near-useful death powers).
Update 8/23: Adult Swim has revised their schedule and have instead announced a September 19th premiere date for Teenage Euthanasia with back-to-back episodes airing. They may very well keep the September 6th date as a sneak peek on what will be a very busy week for the network that includes the Rick and Morty season five finale and the season premiere of Robot Chicken. Here’s the trailer:
