Bizaar Animation, Backed by George R. R. Martin and Jimmy Iovine, Launches on FAST Platforms
A new player is entering the adult animation space, with the launch of Bizaar Animation, a Free Ad-supported Streaming TV (FAST) channel now available on Samsung TV Plus and Xumo Play. The venture, backed by high-profile figures including “Game of Thrones” creator George R. R. Martin and music mogul Jimmy Iovine, aims to be a destination for “mind-bending” and avant-garde animation.
Bizaar Animation was co-founded by Jeremy Iovine (Iovine’s son), Amir Mohamadzadeh, and Eric Bromberg. The channel’s mission is to showcase genre-defying and experimental content from both independent creators and established veterans. The curated lineup will include a mix of globally acclaimed anime, indie shorts, and animated documentaries.
The channel’s programming promises to cater to a diverse range of tastes, featuring classic titles such as the 1960s anime “Speed Racer” and the “Lupin the 3rd” series. According to the co-founders, the goal is to create a platform that encourages artists to push the boundaries of the animated medium and redefine what is possible in adult storytelling.
"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
