So who is going to give me my flowers? I say that because as the publisher of a fairly popular animation magazine I have been told on more than a few times that we’ve been responsible for renewals (just did one yesterday!), pickups, hirings of talent, and more and I usually don’t make a big thing out of it, but this one I’m going to because I can’t recall being the lead influence for a Canadian series getting a US cable premiere before this one. I think I’ve had a few sent to streamers and such after they’ve aired, but that’s about it.
In any case, here we are with the news that Adult Swim will be providing the US cable premiere for Adult Swim Canada’s Psi Cops! which is a good thing for two reasons, 1) hopefully it means the series gets a second season (it’s one of the funniest shows you’ll see on television this year) and 2) hopefully this means Adult Swim would be on the lookout for more acquisitions from different countries (I’m looking at you Singapore!). Check out our reviews of Psi Cops season one episodes here.
Synopsis:
Coworker friends forever (CFFs) and top paranormal investigators solve mysteries and supernatural crimes in the quarter-hour animated comedy “Psi Cops,” making its U.S. debut on Sunday, July 7 at midnight ET/PT on Adult Swim.
“Psi Cops” was created by and stars Bart Batchelor and Chris Nielsen (“Night Sweats”). The series follows Kydd (Nielsen) and Felixx (Batchelor) who join a rag-tag group of experts at the secret agency Psi Cops to investigate alleged sightings of aliens, ghosts, demons, and other hocus-pocus nonsense.
Batchelor and Nielsen serve as executive producers alongside Robert Kirkman (“Invincible,” “The Walking Dead,”) Chris Ferguson (“Little Fish”), Brian Kavanaugh-Jones (“The Bikeriders”), David Alpert (“Invincible” “The Walking Dead”), and Catherine Winder (“Invincible,” “Star Wars: The Clone Wars”). The series was commissioned by Corus Entertainment, produced by Wind Sun Sky Entertainment and Oddfellows Labs, and is distributed by Skybound Galactic, a division of Skybound Entertainment.
