The Team Behind Adult Swim’s “The Jellies” Is Developing “Shell Beach” With FOX
Adult Swim has seen the likes of Dan Harmon, Justin Roiland/Mike McMahan, Loren Bouchard, and others get success with animated comedies elsewhere, and now that stream looks to be potentially continuing with the FOX Network putting out a script commitment for Shell Beach which re-teams The Jellies squad of Tyler, The Creator, Lionel Boyce, and Davon “Jasper” Wilson, the latter two or are executive producing and writing the animated comedy.
According to Deadline who broke the story, the show follows an overzealous lifeguard named Wally and his very smart, but lazy partner, Tyson, who, along with their unique group of friends, inhabit Shell Beach – the most famous beach town in the world. Wally’s passion to be the best lifeguard often makes very simple problems become much more complex than they ever would need to be. Bento Box Entertainment will be animating the series should it come to fruition.
Our Take
FOX is still pushing for primetime animation! With Duncanville set to premiere in the Summer of 2021, it looks like FOX wants to build a whole new Animation Domination lineup for the summer months which is something we’ve been pushing for years. Shell Beach already sounds like a summer series.
