Moon Lake Animated Series In Works
Heavy Metal Studios is teaming up with Bardel Entertainment (Rick and Morty), Irony Point to adapt Dan Fogler’s Moon Lake into an adult animated series.
According to Deadline, Moon Lake is a thirty-minute animated TV show, hosted by the Man in the Moon, a farcical character reminiscent of TV anthology hosts of the past, like Rod Serling and Alfred Hitchcock. Held captive by “moon-men” since childhood, The Man prevents these aliens from attacking Earth by keeping them endlessly entertained with shocking tales of gruesome horror and hilarity. Each episode follows a different deranged set of characters in a strange new setting; whether it be following a ghost-whispering cave-woman on prehistoric Earth, a murderous cheerleader at a modern-day high school, or fighters in a bizarre alien war in space, each story plays into campy classic monster, horror, and sci-fi tropes in a hilarious way.
Our Take
Comic book adaptations are all the rage right now, hell, HBO MAX turned down one the other day. Independent producers will be more sought after given that DC and Marvel comics are spoken for, with the likes of Amazon, Lion Forge, and the like all taking advantage one way or another.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
