Roku Sets Start Date For Doomlands
Roku has set a January 28th start date for new adult animated comedy series, Doomlands and will be available in the US, Canada, and the UK.
The series is created and directed by Josh O’Keefe, in Doomlands, the infamous Danny Doom and aspiring bartender Lhandi sling beers across a hellish wasteland in their mobile subterranean pub: The Oasis. In order to survive, all the crew needs to do is not kill each other.
The adult animated comedy comes from Josh O’Keefe, Josh Bowen (Gary and His Demons) and Look Mom! Productions, a Blue Ant Studios company that specializes in original animated programming for teens and adults.
Lee Porter (Gary and His Demons, Bigfoot) is supervising producer/director. Writer/performers include Roger Bainbridge (Baroness Von Sketch Show, The Handmaid’s Tale, The Amazing Gayl Pile); Mark Little “Danny Doom” (Conan, Gary and His Demons (Creator), Cavendish (Creator), Cupcake & Dino) and Kayla Lorette “Lhandi” (New Eden (Creator), Gary and His Demons, Kim’s Convenience). Stephen Sloan (Crack-Duck, Bigfoot, Parenthesis Humour (Creator) is animation director.
There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
