Wattpad WEBTOON Studios Announces “Apocalyptic Horseplay” Animated Series Adaptation

Wattpad WEBTOON Studios, the fan-driven studio and IP business from WEBTOON Entertainment, is developing an animated series based on  the supernatural WEBTOON favorite “Apocalyptic Horseplay.” The series will be written by “Workaholics” co-creator Dominic Russo.

From French creator Boredman, Apocalyptic Horseplay is a comedic take on the four horsemen of the apocalypse. The horsemen love their job and are counting down the days until they can destroy humanity. But there’s a hitch: humans are now experts at self-destruction, outdoing even the Horsemen, so God gives them the boot. Now, The four horsemen have come up with an idiotic scheme to get their jobs back by using their inherently evil powers to fix humanity and save the world…so that they can turn around and finally destroy everything themselves. Already a hit with fans around the world, Apocalyptic Horseplay has 17 million views on WEBTOON.

Russo will write and executive produce the series, with Aron Levitz, David Madden, Sydney Bright serving as executive producers for Wattpad WEBTOON Studios.

Russo is the co-creator and executive producer of Comedy Central’s Emmy-nominated hit series “Workaholics.” His additional projects include Defy Media and YouTube Originals’ “Part Timers,” the WEB3 animated series “Space Junk,” and “Disruptors,” which is currently in development with Kelsey Grammer’s Grammnet Productions.
