Posted on by

BuzzFeed Studios has announced that it’s Animation Lab, home to hit short-form animated channels across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram & Facebook, like “The Land of Boggs”, “Chikn Nuggit”, “Weird Helga” and the “Good Advice Cupcake,” is expanding its current slate of content with a new Dungeons & Dragons liveplay series.

BuzzFeed Studios Animation Lab’s new programming includes:

MAGIC & STUFF (Releasing May 31, 2024 on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram & Facebook) – BuzzFeed’s first true D&D show led by an all queer female-identifying cast

BuzzFeed enters the Dungeons & Dragons space with their new liveplay series, “Magic & Stuff,” showcasing an all queer female-identifying cast with diverse voices and varying levels of experience, from novices to experts. Releasing on YouTube weekly starting May 31, there will be 8 fast and punchy half-hour episodes. A breath of fresh air in a genre that can feature hours long unedited content that can be intimidating for newcomers, each episode will include epic animations and gameplay tips sprinkled throughout. These fun character moments and cool action sequences enhance watchability and accessibility for those uninitiated to D&D.  The animated segments will also act as built-in short form vertical content for TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube Shorts. The cast includes Meredith Kesh as Freddie, a demon paladin who gives great hugs; our favorite drag queen, Syzygy, playing Mrs.  Readings, a human bard “grandmother” – just don’t ask where her ex-husbands went; Elisabeth Riley as Felyn, a vampire rogue who loves gaslighting, gatekeeping, and girlbossing; Elizabeth Gottlieb, playing Ikky the Wizard, a possum sorcerer who’s just a little guy; and seasoned Dungeon Master Jasmine “ThatBronzeGirl” Bhullar, actress and writer for Dimension20, DesiQuest, and Critical Role, as well as Twitch content creator.

“Magic & Stuff” is produced for BuzzFeed Studios by creators and executive producers Elisabeth Riley and  Meredith Kesh, director Derek Benig, and Jun Zee Myers, Head of the Animation Lab..
