FOX: Taskmasters Animated Workplace Comedy In The Works
FOX has ordered a script commitment for a new animated workplace comedy from Bento Box Entertainment and created by Brian Keith Etheridge, Brendon Walsh (Crank Yankers), and cartoonist Johnny Ryan (Prison Pit) called Taskmasters! The series follows a bunch of pals trying to make a living off of the gig economy complete with real life calls to businesses.
Our Take
This premise sounds incredible and has a super talented gaggle of creators. On a network where we have a Krapopolis that is influenced by web3 tech, having a series that may be influenced by real world phone calls sounds like a fascinating bit. Add in the fact that we have Johnny Ryan who is a god damn genius as it pertains to illustration, and we have ourselves a solid foundation that could really spice things up for FOX. Hopefully, this one comes to fruition.

"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
