It Took Three Years But Adult Swim Orders Teenage Euthanasia Series; Confirms New Seasons Of Momma Named Me Sheriff And Final Space

Adult Swim ordered the pilot for Teenage Euthanasia back in 2017 and I don’t know what took so long, but I’m happy to see we’re getting closer to the promised land of an actual debut which is happening in 2021. The network made the announcement today that the Alissa Nutting and Alyson Levy (The Shivering Truth/Xaver: Renegade Angel) joint has been ordered to series and it’s being produced by PFFR and Augenblick Studios.

Set in a mildly apocalyptic near-future, the animated comedy half-hour Teenage Euthanasia centers around the Fantasy Family and their inland Florida funeral home, Tender Endings. The cast of characters include recently undead Trophy Fantasy (voiced by Maria Bamford); her teenage daughter, Euthanasia “Annie” Fantasy Jo Firestone); Annie’s Oedipus-complex-stricken Uncle Pete (Tim Robinson); and Annie’s “old country” immigrant grandmother Baba (Bebe Neuwirth).

As a teenage mom, Trophy ran away from home, leaving Annie behind to be raised by her Baba and uncle Pete. Fifteen years later, Trophy finally returns to Tender Endings… like a corpse, for burial. But when lightning strikes Baba’s homemade embalming fluid and one of Annie’s tears magically brings Trophy back from the dead, Trophy finds herself a resurrected woman with a second chance to become an unplanned parent (and a variety of near-useful death powers).

Adult Swim has also announced that new seasons of Final Space and Momma Named Me Sheriff are coming early 2021. Final Space made the cover of Bubbleblabber the Magazine #2 which you can get here!

Other series expected to drop in 2021 include Birdgirl, Tuca & Bertie, Uzumaki, Fena: Pirate Princess, and Blade Runner: Black Lotus.
