Comedy Central’s Animated presents new three-part series “Maurice on Mars”

Comedy Central announces the launch of their new three-part digital animated series, “Maurice on Mars.” The series follows Maurice Robinson, a 25-year-old Black struggling artist-who happens to work minimum wage at a coffee shop on Mars. The Martian colony is supposed to be a utopia, yet old Earth problems still manage to pop up in the cafe, sometimes as fierce debates, and other times as fist fights. Each episode follows Maurice just trying to get through a day of work on a planet far away from home.

The series, made in partnership with Cartuna, was written and created by comedian Tim Barnes (The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon), and features a cast including Lori Beth Danberg (All That), Clare O’Kane (Shrill), Dwayne Kennedy (How High, Martin).

The first episode premiered Friday, June 10th at 12pm ET on CC’s Animated YouTube and Facebook. Episodes 2 and 3 will become available on Friday 6/17 and Friday 6/24.
