VRV/Mondo To Debut Two New Series Before the End of 2018

Grab your pole!

 

 

While the service debuted LastMan this year, 2018 will go down as the year in which VRV/Mondo has outperformed the other newcomers in the streaming arena and have begun to build a solid foothold in the adult animation arena in terms of franchises that have people talking. Certainly, the likes of LastMan and Gary And His Demons put this service on the map and now we’ve got two more original series on the horizon in which to look forward to.

One we already told you about and has already dropped, is called Daddy and the Big Boy. Daddy and the Big Boy follows the exploits of two con artists who pretend to be the long-lost husband and son of a wealthy dead woman in order to steal her estate. Each one thinks the other is for real — so they’re constantly keeping up an act of behaving like a stupidly happy family.

The premiere episode of Daddy and the Big Boy is available exclusively on VRV beginning today, with new episodes premiering every Tuesday and it comes from Vancouver-based Oddfellows Labs, the Bart Batchelor and Chris Nielsen co-founded studio that is also bringing to us another series set to kick off in December called Allen’s Pole. 

Set in 1897, Allen’s Pole follows the misadventures of a self-styled explorer who drags along his lifelong nanny and naïve biographer in a quest to find the magnetic pole. They find little other than friendship, disappointment and danger for which they are woefully unprepared. Employing a subtle artistic style that recalls paper cut-out puppets and whimsical character designs, Allen’s Pole has the look and feel of a fable gone bad.
