Netflix News: Agent King Changes Name ; Inside Job Cancellation Confirmed ; Paradise PD Petition To Bring Back Show
News is swirling about the cancellation of Inside Job despite the fact that the series has been in production for a second season after posting an excellent first season. This after longtime Inside Job producer Chase Mitchell posted an angry Twitter thread (now deleted) on Saturday which was followed up today from show creator Shion Takeuchi confirming that report.
This is by far the most high profile adult animated comedy to be canceled by Netflix so far. This after the show’s first two halves ranked high on each of our end of year lists including this last year’s list for 2022.
This has been a bad weekend for adult animation fans. This is Netflix’s worst travesty of a decision, though it sounds like the department is just undoing Mike Moon’s moves after the aforementioned producer left for Illumination last year. Inside Job producer Alex Hirsch had another adult animated series called Lighthouse Bluff which was canceled in early 2022.
Synopsis:
Sony Pictures Television is teasing their upcoming new adult animated comedy produced by Titmouse called Agent Elvis. That’s right, the artist formerly known as Agent King now has a new (and I think better) name and even a new poster that you can check out below.
In Agent Elvis, Elvis Presley trades in his white jumpsuit for a jet pack when he is covertly inducted into a secret government spy program to help battle the dark forces that threaten the country he loves — all while holding down his day job as the King Of Rock And Roll.
John Varvatos is designing Elvis’ outfits with Lisa Marie Pressley producing alongside Titmouse and a number of other producers.
One of the series that are not expecting to make a return anytime soon is Paradise PD. Canceled after four seasons and having wrapped it’s final season a month ago, the series from Waco O’Guin and Roger Black which wrapped with the codename “Paradise Party Dudes”, is not expected to return in any form…
Unless THIS guy has anything to say about it. User Keidon Dawson has posted a petition looking for a 100 signatures that would then be sent to Netflix in hopes that Paradise PD would get renewed for a fifth season. Waco O’ Guin notes that there’s no chance this happens, but at the time of this writing the number of signatures is already a quarter of the way there, so who knows?
