Mama Tried Animated Series In Development For IFC
Mama, I’m coming home.
IFC has announced their 2018 development slate and on them is a brand-new animated series called Mama Tried,
A show about the seamy underbelly of new motherhood, Mama Triedfollows the struggles (and occasional triumphs) of Liz Callahan who’s finding that she could care less about being a “super-mom”- she just wants to survive.
Mama Tried weaves Emily Flake’s darkly funny animation to help bring to life all of motherhood’s graphic, and sometimes gruesome, realness. Written by Emily Wilson (Cougar Town, Superior Donuts) and animated by and based on the graphic novel by Emily Flake, executive produced by Jax Media (Full Frontal, Broad City, Search Party).
Not much else is known about the series as it’s very early in the property’s development, but hopefully we can get some more heat on this project sooner rather than later.
I hope this turns out to be another Gravity Falls-type show with an overarching storyline.
