AMC Developing “Pantheon” Animated Series
AMC Networks Entertainment Group is developing Pantheon from Craig Silverstein.
Pantheon is a one-hour animated drama series written by Turn’s Silverstein and based on short stories by sci-fi writer Ken Liu Titmouse will serve as the animation production company and is also producing a 10-minute animated short. It is set in a world where uploaded consciousness is not just science fiction, a young woman begins receiving messages from an unknown number that claims to be her deceased father. Trying to uncover the truth, she stumbles upon a larger conspiracy involving the singularity.
Our Take
Every other year AMC seems to develop an animated series we can get excited about, but never get picked up. If the success of Undone is any indication, Pantheon could be a spiritual splinter of something similar that can be truly exciting. Ken Liu’s “Good Hunting,” a short story, was adapted into an animated short as part of Netflix’s Love, Death & Robots series in 2019 and it was excellent. He’s a special kind of crazy person that can give us crazy that we want to see come to life.

"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
