Joshua Bowen and Carly Sacks made waves earlier this year when they left Blue Ant Media and formed their own production company Cutting Class Media that intends to focus on developing adult animation projects with Joshua leading the division with impending greenlights already on the docket.

Now Cutting Class has announced that they have announced a 10-project deal with Lakeside Animation that will include adult animation dramas, comedies, and everything in between.

Multiple series are currently in development and will be announced at a later date.
