Why people still want to do their projects with Warner Bros despite everything that they have pulled for the past 4 years?

>George Gendi
Whoa that's awesome! I loved Apple & Onion and I'm always interested in seeing if someone from children's television can adapt to adult animation--

>Netflix
>8-part series
>main two dudes are voiced by women for some reason
Uhhh...

>>151245977 (OP)
Oh boy another adult animated sitcom with a cheap ugly ass garbage artstyle and millennial humor, I’m so hyped.

>Adult Swim didn’t want it

Hmmm I wonder why

>writers on the series include Phoebe Walsh, Ellie White, Joe Parnham and Joe Markham
So THAT'S where all the OG Gumball writers were all this time...

>main two dudes are voiced by women for some reason
"The workplace sitcom follows two best friends, voiced by creator George Gendi and Javone Prince"
Literally the first fucking sentence dude.

>>151246474
My bad. I came here after reading the Deadline article, and it wasn't as straightforward with who's voicing the two leads https://deadline.com/2025/11/netflix-living-the-dream-animation-ambika-mod-george-gendi-1236614950/

>character designs look uncannily similar to main characters of last series
For what purpose?

>>151245977 (OP)
Those designs will take some getting used to, but I'm remaining optimistic. Hopefully it'll at least be on par with Close Enough

>>151246584
Gendi probably had a hard time letting go of his first baby. I don't blame him; pretty sure CN didn't even warn him beforehand when they cancelled the show. I always assumed that's why Season 2 only had 36 episodes and why the final episode isn't anything special.

A&O really came into its own after those shaky first 10 episodes. The 'talking food' angle made for lots of creative storytelling ideas.

>Hanna Barbera Studios Europe

No CNS? damn that unit is really dead atp

>>151246584

>character designs look uncannily similar to main characters of last series

Not a first time anon

>George Gendi gets to an adult cartoon
>Diego Molano gets to do animated movies at Disney's 20th Century unit
>Ian JQ is doing Lars, The Elephant special at AS and something with Disney since January
>Julia Pott is doing books
>Meanwhile Parker Simmons got a fucking Duolingo cartoon

grim

>>151247074
there's a difference between drawing style and exact fucking design down to the luminance of their bodies

>>151245977 (OP)
>Close Enough at home

That's literally Apple and Onion as humans and switched around lmao
>Living the Dream follows best friends Des and Ray, “a couple of really cool guys from London who should have made it big by now but haven’t but still could.”

Anyway A&O was hilarious once you got past the artstyle so I'm excited for this, and I'm glad for Gendi

How far ahead does Netlflix announce these things? Is a 2026 release date possible

>>151247157
Parker definitely got it the worst. Whereas all other CN Originals around that time--even the forgettable ones thrown over to Max like Fungies or Tig n' Seek--were given at least 2 seasons, his show was killed off after just one season, even though it could've easily been as marketable and profitable as TTG.

>>151249307

Looks very finished, it's likely going to be part of their 2026 slate alongside that furry show by the Big Mouth creators

>>151245977 (OP)
idk could be cool i guess

>>151247157

>Meanwhile Parker Simmons got a fucking Duolingo cartoon

You're kidding.... i hope

>>151247157

>>Julia Pott is doing books

Based honestly, books are more profitable than cartoons (i said books, not comics or graphic novels)

>>151245977 (OP)
Is the guy on the left supposed to have a lazy eye or something?

old news

>Adult Swim didn't want it
This is most likely part of Warner's new practice of selling their newest cartoons to other networks.

>>151245977 (OP)
Why do they look like Chuds

>>151245977 (OP)
If WBD weren't run by idiots, this would've been on HBO Max or Adult Swim. I cancelled Netflix over a year ago, so while I'm happy to see Gendi landing another show it sucks I can't support it myself.

>>151245977 (OP)
I'm excited ngl, here's hoping Netflix treats it well

For me, it's Cinnamon Twist.

>>151251179
Because they are.

>>151254048
Are they?

>>151245977 (OP)

Weird this is from HBE rather than Cartoon Network Studios since they make adult shows

>>151255921
Haven't you been keeping up, anon? Cartoon Network Studios is DEAD.

Thank god, Gendi deserves it. Apple and Onion was too good for this world.

>>151256355
This was in the latest Adventure Time episode. Explain that.

>>151257577
That's a leftover from the last days of CNS, same with Invincible Fight Girl and likely Primal S3 early next year.

>all this A&O love
I KNEW /co/ wasn't all bad

>>151245977 (OP)
apple and onion was actually good
