The Swines Announces Season Two Premiere

In the crowded landscape of digital animation, few series commit to their bit as fully as The Swines. Streaming on their official social channels, @SwinesOfficial, this adult animated comedy-soap from Wonkybot Entertainment has carved out a niche by blending the high-stakes melodrama of 1980s prime-time soaps with a world populated entirely by anthropomorphic pigs.

Created, written, and directed by Humanitas Prize-winning storyteller Stewart St John (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Sabrina: The Animated Series), The Swines is more than just a cartoon—it’s a satirical “Swineverse” built on what St John calls “snout rules.”

The series centers on the small, gossip-fueled town of Oinkersfield. The drama kicks off when Sebastian St. Piggleton—a posh, failed Hollywood socialite—loses his mansion in “Hoggywood” and returns to his family’s Hog Heaven Ranch to claim a massive inheritance.

His homecoming isn’t exactly a warm one. Sebastian, along with his glamorous husband Rodd and their sharp-tongued business partner Marcus, immediately clashes with his “down-home” parents, ex-Swine Corps vet Jack and his free-spirited wife June. What follows is a sprawling saga of land disputes, counterfeit luxury watches, and family secrets that would make the Ewings of Dallas blush.

The ambition for the series extends far beyond YouTube. Wonkybot has confirmed that the brand is expanding into several different mediums as Season 2 is set to premiere on April 24, 2026.

With art direction by Michael Plahuta that transforms St John’s original sketches into a polished, vibrant world, The Swines manages to be both a nostalgic callback to classic animation and a forward-thinking digital experiment. It’s a series that understands its identity perfectly: it’s irreverent, smart, and deeply affectionate toward the soap opera tropes it parodies.

Whether you’re there for the pig-based puns or the genuine family heart hidden beneath the snouts, The Swines is proving that independent animation can still build a massive, complex universe one oink at a time.
