FXX Sneak Peeks Fifth Season Of “Cake”

Season five of Cake premieres this Thursday, September 30 at 10p ET/PT on FXX, streaming next day via FX on Hulu.
Each of this season’s 10 episodes features Reza Farazmand’s Poorly Drawn Lines, an animated program spotlighting the fantastical misadventures of Ernesto (Tony Revolori), Tanya (D’Arcy Carden) and Kevin (Ron Funches)—three best friends navigating early adulthood in a world where the strange and surreal are an everyday thing. Based off the comic of the same name, Poorly Drawn Lines is produced by Floyd County Productions and Fish Ladder Productions.
Also prominently featured this season is Branson Reese’s Swan Boy, an animated program based off the comic of the same name from executive producers Alex Plapinger and Augenblick Studios. Swan Boy focuses on an anthropomorphic swan of low station and (in his finest moments) medium intelligence, who gets into trouble ranging from the mundane to the fantastic to the surreal.
Cake’s fifth season also includes animated Beings from creator Dan Britt and executive producer Alex Plapinger.
